Practical guide to measuring high temperatures with pyrometers, focusing on real‑world use in industry.

This authoritative volume explains how optical, calorimetric, and radiation pyrometers work and how to apply them in furnaces and workshops. Clear explanations, practical examples, and calibrated procedures help you get accurate readings, control processes, and improve safety in high‑temperature environments.

From the fundamentals of temperature measurement to the calibration and use of a wide range of instruments, this book emphasizes what is actually useful on the job. It covers common forms of radiative and thermo‑electric devices, how to read indicators, and how to set up recorders to document temperatures over time. Readers will find guidance on selecting the right instrument for a given task, plus tips on maintenance and handling to keep measurements reliable.

How optical and radiation pyrometers capture and translate heat into readable signals
Calibration methods for indicators and how to plot temperature scales from readings
Practical setup, focusing, and alignment tips for industrial furnaces
Maintaining accuracy with recorders and monitoring high‑temperature processes

Ideal for engineers, technicians, and plant personnel who measure and control high temperatures in metalworking, glassmaking, cement kilns, and similar environments.
