Measuring Tire Tread Internal Temperature

with the IRT/C-HB (Heat Balance) Series Infrared Thermocouple By its very nature, infrared measures surface temperature, but most material properties of interest relate to internal (bulk) temperatures. For many materials, such as metals, the gradient between the surface and internal temperatures is small enough to ignore. For other materials, such...
