There is a silent measurement quality crisis and few people are aware. Infrared thermometers are being used more and more for critical temperature measurements without much assurance that their values are accurate. Infrared thermometers can be calibrated to improve and assure measurement accuracy, but even the flat-plate radiation sources used to assure those measurements at temperatures below 1000 °C often lack the traceability necessary to be a reliable as a calibration standard.
