Pyrometer
A pyrometer determines the surface temperature of an object without contact using the thermal radiation emitted. The radiation is focused onto a sensor by an optical system and converted into an electrical signal.
Pyrometer types
Pyrometers can be divided into one-colour and two-colour pyrometers in terms of their sensor technology. A distinction can be made between compact pyrometers and fibre optic cable pyrometers in terms of design.
Advantages of pyrometers compared to alternative measuring devices:
- short response times, usually between 2 and 10 ms
- wear-free measurement even of moving measuring objects
- measurement of temperatures up to 3,500 °C
- large and continuous measuring ranges, for example from 250 to 2,000 °C
- measurement in demanding industrial environments
