A pyrometer determines the surface temperature of an object without contact using the infrared 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 spectral and ratio pyrometers in terms of their sensors. In terms of design, a distinction can be made between compact and fibre optic pyrometers.
Advantages of pyrometers compared to alternative measuring devices
- short response times, usually between 2 and 10 ms
- wear-free measurement even of moving measurement 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
