Description
This book describes the
practice of radiation thermometry, both at a primary level and for a variety of applications,
such as in the materials processing industries and remote sensing. This book is written for those who will a) apply radiation thermometry
in industrial practice b) use radiation thermometers for scientific research, c) the radiation thermometry specialist in a national measurement
institute d) developers of radiation thermometers who are working to innovate products for instrument manufacturers and e) developers
non-contact thermometry methods to address challenging thermometry problems.
The author(s) of each chapter were chosen
from a group of international scientists who are experts in the field and specialist(s) on the subject matter covered in the chapter.
A large number of references are included at the end of each chapter as a resource for those seeking a deeper or more detailed understanding.
This book is more than a practice guide. Readers will gain in-depth knowledge in: (1) the proper selection of the
type of thermometer; (2) the best practice in using the radiation thermometers; (3) awareness of the error sources and subsequent appropriate
procedure to reduce the overall uncertainty; and (4) understanding of the calibration chain and its current limitations.
