About this title

Synopsis

Practical Pyrometry is a comprehensive guide to the theory, calibration, and use of instruments for measuring high temperatures. Written by Ervin S. Ferry, an expert in the field of pyrometry, this book covers a wide range of topics related to temperature measurement, including the properties of materials at high temperatures, the principles of thermocouples and radiation pyrometry, the calibration of temperature sensors, and the practical use of temperature measurement instruments in various industrial applications.The book begins with an introduction to the basics of temperature measurement, including the different scales used to measure temperature and the various types of temperature sensors available. It then delves into the theory behind thermocouples and radiation pyrometry, explaining how these instruments work and how they can be used to measure temperature in different environments.The book also covers the calibration of temperature sensors, including the use of standard reference materials and the various techniques used to ensure accurate measurements. It includes detailed information on the calibration of thermocouples, resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), and infrared thermometers.In addition to the theoretical aspects of temperature measurement, Practical Pyrometry also provides practical advice on the use of temperature measurement instruments in various industrial applications. It includes detailed information on the use of pyrometers in the steel industry, glass industry, and other high-temperature applications.Overall, Practical Pyrometry is an essential resource for anyone involved in temperature measurement, from scientists and engineers to technicians and industrial operators. It provides a comprehensive overview of the theory, calibration, and practical use of temperature measurement instruments, making it an invaluable reference for anyone working in this field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
