Master practical high-temperature measurement with proven, step-by-step methods .

This guide walks you through calibrating and using optical and absorption pyrometers to measure extremely hot sources accurately.

Designed for technicians and students, the book presents hands-on experiments, calibration techniques, and the theory behind radiation pyrometry. You’ll learn how to build calibration curves, determine instrument constants, and compare lamp radiance with known standards. The clear instructions cover both step-by-step procedures and the mathematical relationships that underlie temperature readings.

Hands-on calibration exercises for pyrometers and lamps, including setting up comparisons and reading current and brightness.
Methods for constructing and interpreting empirical calibration curves and derived constants.
Detailed exploration of color identity and absorption pyrometers, with practical manipulation tips.
Discussion of the theory of black-body radiation and how it informs high-temperature measurement.

Ideal for engineers, lab technicians, and students working with high-temperature instrumentation and optical sensing.
