    • The infrared (IR) thermometer is used to measure the temperature at a point where it is pointed to (line-of-sight temperature taking).

    • During the experiment, data from the IR thermometer would be recorded.

  2. The IR thermometer is mounted onto a flexible tube which is in turn, secured onto the tribometer table.
    • The IR thermometer is mounted onto a flexible tube which is in turn, secured onto the tribometer table.

    • The position of the IR thermometer can be adjusted at will to record temperature at any point the user wills it to.

    • As the IR thermometer works through line of sight operation, it is difficult, if not impossible, to accurately measure the temperature of contacting surfaces during tests. However, the user could still attempt to aim the IR thermometer as close to the contacting surfaces as possible to get a more accurate measurement of temperature at that point.
