Radiation Thermometry (Non-contact Temperature Measurement) October 16, 2007

A one-day training course at the Measurement Standards Laboratory of the Industrial Research Limited of New Zealand.

Here’s the key info from their website. (For more, click here or on the underlined title above)

Covers practical problems associated with the use of radiation thermometers, and engenders confidence in your measurements . The course is appropriate for those working between -50°C to 2000°C.

This one-day workshop will assist users to solve practical problems associated with the use of radiation thermometers and engender confidence in their measurements. The workshop will be of value to all users of radiation thermometry, from beginners seeking an introduction, to experienced users needing advice on specific difficult measurement problems.

Programme

The day will consist of a mixture of tutorial sessions and real-life examples of measurement problems from a variety of industrial users, ending with a problem solving session in which we will give advice on your specific problems.
8.30 - 9.00 Arrival and Registration
9.00 - 10.30 Radiation thermometry principles
10.30 - 10.45 Morning tea
10.45 - 12.00 Radiation thermometry practice
12.00 - 1.00 Lunch
1.00 - 2.00 Thermal imaging
2.00 - 2.30 Case study 1: Reflection errors in the petrochemical industry
2.30 - 3.00 Cast study 2: Temperature measurement in the food industry
3.00 - 3.30 Afternoon tea
3.30 - 4.30 Discussion / problem solving session

Tutorials

These cover the principles and practice of radiation thermometry, including blackbodies and blackbody radiation, emissivity and reflectivity, spectral-band radiation thermometers, errors and uncertainties, reflection errors, instrumental emissivity effects, atmospheric scattering and absorption. Also included are methods of calibration, care and maintenance of radiation thermometers, and advice on choosing the best type of radiation thermometer for a specific application.

Problem Solving Session

The day will be rounded off with an informal discussion of the particular problems identified during the day or in other applications of radiation thermometry. This session will be an opportunity to use the collective expertise and experience of all attendees to find solutions and identify topics requiring further research.
