Non-contact temperature sensors mostly work in the infrared portion of the spectrum
¾ The advantages of pyrometers :
•Stefan-Boltzman law
Stefan-Boltzaman constant
Boltzmann’s Constant
¾ Physical Principles ( Cont. )
• Plank’s Law
¾ Physical Principles ( Cont. )
-Emissivity Errors
choose a pyrometer that measures in the shortest wavelength band
¾ Physical Principles ( Cont. )
• Choosing the spectral range ( Cont. )
- Atmospheric Windows
no absorption bands of water vapour and carbon dioxide in the air
¾ Physical Principles ( Cont. )
• Choosing the spectral range ( Cont. )
• Technical advances
have made it possible
today to measure not
only high temperatures
but also temperatures
far below freezing point
from a distance and
without making contact
with the object to be
measured.
¾ Pyrometer Types
• spectral band pyrometers
• Total band pyrometers
• Ratio Pyrometers ( 2 color pyrometers)
• Disappearing filamennt optical pyrometer
• Infrared pyrometer
• Laser pyrometer
¾ Pyrometer Types ( Cont. )
• spectral band pyrometers
- Narrow band pyrometer
- Broadbad pyrometer
¾ Pyrometer Types ( Cont. )
•Total band pyrometers
provides a very
stable
output signal
for process control.
¾ Pyrometer Types
•Ratio Pyrometers ( 2 color pyrometers)
Temperature measurement
becomes independent of the
emissivity of the object.
