Digital Tire Pyrometer HPM5 for tire temperature measurement in MOTORSPORT

Tire temperature is a crucial parameter in motorsport to ensure optimal performance and minimal wear. It is essential that the temperature stays within the correct range and is evenly distributed across the tire surface. This is why it’s measured at three key points: 

INNER – CENTER – OUTER.

Prisma Electronics offers a range of digital tire pressure gauges and pyrometers designed to accurately and quickly measure tire temperature in different modes:

Digital tire pyrometers with needle probe.

The needle probe is ideal for measuring tread temperature at specific points, such as areas affected by blistering or graining. Its only disadvantage is that it is not as fast as an infrared sensor.

Digital tire Pyrometer with Infrared Sensor.

The infrared sensor measurestire tread temperature extremely quickly, in less than 0.5 seconds. Furthermore, thanks to its narrow FOV of 35°, you can use it to measure temperature at specific points or measure the average temperature distribution across the tread.

Digital tire Pyrometers with Dual-Technology sensor (needle probe + Infrared Sensor).

These pyrometers combine both needle probe and infrared sensor technologies for a comprehensive measurement of the compound temperature. This is the instrument used by motorsport professionals.

The instrument automatically sets the temperature sensor. If the needle probe is connected, it takes priority over the infrared sensor. If it is removed, the instrument automatically switches to infrared mode. You can also switch manually by pressing the MODE button.
