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.

Audience
Industrial practitioners in radiation thermometers; Scientific researchers using thermometers; Designers of thermometers
