A comprehensive collection of radiometry and photometry papers for precision work.
This edition gathers key National Bureau of Standards writings to help standards laboratories transmit measurement accuracies to industry, research, and field evaluation.
The volume assembles reprints and abstracts from 1957 to 1970, organized by topics such as general radiometry, emissivity standards, radiometric and photometric techniques, and related material properties. It serves as both a textbook and a reference source for scientists and engineers who rely on precise light and radiation measurements in practice.
- Learn how standards, detectors, and sources are used in radiation measurements.
- Explore emissivity and radiance concepts, including measurement techniques and calibration practices.
- Understand how photometry relates to radiometry and how to apply standardized units and conversion practices.
- Find practical guidance on handling emittance standards, reflectometry, and related equipment in labs.
Ideal for readers who work in standards laboratories, industry labs, and any field requiring accurate measurement of light and radiation.
