INTRODUCTION
 A major challenge for economies to remain open
without causing further spikes in infection
 Along with social distancing, hand hygiene & face
coverings, temperature screening can also play a
vital part in helping businesses & institutions stay
open safely
 The presentation showcases the latest
development in infrared temperature screening
solutions from the experts at AMETEK Land

TEMPERATURE SCREENING METHODS
The different methods of human body temperature measurement
have varying levels of ease of use, accuracy, and practicality.
Rectal temperature readings give the most accurate measurement of
core body temperature, although this is not very practical or ideal for
encouraging staff, customers, or visitors back to a facility.
Certified and calibrated Tympanic ‘In-ear’ medical thermometers can
also provide accurate measurement of body temperature.
Whilst good for a final check this method violates social distancing
guidance and will slow personnel movement to a crawl.

A thermal imager detects the sum of all radiation within its spectral range
(emission, reflection, transmission).
