Hello I was wondering if this device could be hooked up to a meter and used as an LPM?

As Mike mentioned above "try it". Id start by looking for a signal that detects the radiant heat from your hand a few inches away. Next you will have to figure out an optically absorbent coating, but pay no mind to that until you figure out step one.

You also have to consider how much mass is on the sensor. Thermopiles tend to be paper thin, where even TEC's delay read times due to their thickness. Many aspects to consider as to whether its viable.

Thanks for the tips I will try them and report back.
