Radiometric Techniques for Emissivity and Temperature Measurements for Industrial Applications

Abstract

Radiometric techniques for temperature measurements are indispensable in industrial applications, particularly when the use of contact thermometers is hard or impossible to realize. The principles and realizations of some new and extended radiometric techniques for measuring the emissivity and temperature of an object are presented. Using the described techniques, the emissivity and temperature of an Inconel 600 sample at high temperatures in laboratory conditions were determined. The validation of the temperature measurement of the same sample in a simulated industrial condition is also presented.
