Inhaltsangabe

This book, a timeless guide to pyrometry, delves into the theory and practice of temperature measurement at high temperatures. The author explores the evolution of temperature scales, from the initial definition using the freezing and boiling points of water to sophisticated methods involving radiation laws. The book covers a wide range of pyrometers, including mercury-in-glass thermometers, thermocouples, and optical and radiation pyrometers. The author discusses their construction, calibration, and sources of error, providing practical guidance for their use in various industrial applications. Beyond the technical aspects, the author examines the fundamental principles of temperature measurement and the challenges of achieving accurate and reproducible results. The discussion encompasses topics such as the definition of the thermodynamic temperature scale, the role of fixed points, and the impact of temperature gradients and inhomogeneities. Throughout the text, the author emphasizes the importance of understanding the limitations and uncertainties associated with temperature measurements. This book serves as an invaluable resource for practitioners in diverse fields where accurate temperature measurement is crucial, including metallurgy, ceramics, glass manufacturing, and chemical engineering.
