Monograph 12 Radiation Thermometry

(2004, first edition) Mark Ballico, 44 pp

Non-contact temperature measurement based on the measurement of thermal radiation is described. The monograph outlines the necessary theoretical considerations and gives an appreciation of the dominant role played by emissivity, a knowledge of which is required for reliable temperature measurement. Techniques for minimising error and of calibration are also given.
