non-contact temperature measuring device.
Generally used to measure objects at high temperature.

Actually, If I had actually used my brain for once, I probably could have worked that out.

Quite obvious really when you think about it!

Pyrometer does not necessarily imply 'non-contact'

There are plenty of 'contact pyrometers' like what the tire techs use to measure temps across tires in F1 etc.

IR ones are the hot lick though
