Unknown - Function
-
For measuring high temperatures especially by the observation of the colour produced by a substance upon heating or by thermoelectric means. - Technical
-
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 ? of the object. This output is used to infer the object's temperature. Thus, there is no need for direct contact between the pyrometer and the object. - Area Notes
