 Pyrometers
 Pyrometry is a technique for measuring
temperature without physical contact. It depends
upon the relationship between the temperature of
hot body and eletronicmagnetic radiation emitted
by the body.
 It is a technique for determining a body’s
temperature by measuring its eletronicmagnetic
radiation .
 ‘ Pyro’ is the ‘Greek’ word which means fire.
 Two types of pyrometers used in industries :
Radiation Pyrometers
Optical Pyrometers
 A pyrometer has an optical system and detector.
The optical system focuses the thermal
radiation onto the detector. The output signal of
the detector(Temperature T) is related to
the thermal radiation or irradiance j* of the target
object through the Stefan–Boltzmann law,
the constant of proportionality, called the
Stefan- Boltzmann constant and the emissivity ε
of the object.

 WORKING
The radiation pyrometer has an optical system, including a lens, a
mirror and an adjustable eye piece. The heat energy emitted from the
hot body is passed on to the optical lens, which collects it and is
focused on to the detector with the help of the mirror and eye piece
arrangement. The detector may either be a thermister or
photomultiplier tubes. Though the latter is known for faster
detection of fast moving objects, the former may be used for small
scale applications. Thus, the heat energy is converted to its
corresponding electrical signal by the detector and is sent to the
output temperature display device.
• ABILITY TO MEASURE HIGH
TEMP
• NO NEED FOR CONTACT
• FAST RESPONSE SPEED
• HIGH O/P
• MODERATE COST
 • Emissivity errors are introduced
• Errors due to the absorption of radiation by carbon
dioxide, water or other apparently transparent gases.
 To measure the temperature of moving objects or
constant objects from a greater distance.
 In metallurgy industries .
 In smelting industries .
 To measure heat at the top of the hot air balloon.
 In boiler industry to measure steam temperatures.
 To measure temperature of liquid metals and highly
heated materials.
 To measure furnace temperature.
 Future Scope
• Increased accuracy.
•Increased range.
• Less time to process.
