Optical Pyrometer

Optical pyrometers are instruments used for non-contact temperature measurement. They are part of the supply class Pressure, Temperature, and Humidity Measuring and Controlling Instruments in the supply group Instruments and Laboratory Equipment.

Optical pyrometers work based on the principle of measuring the intensity of thermal radiation emitted by an object to determine its temperature. They use a lens or optical system to focus the emitted radiation onto a detector, which then converts the radiation into an electrical signal. This signal is then processed to provide a temperature reading.

These pyrometers are commonly used in industrial applications where direct contact with the object being measured is not possible or desirable. They are particularly useful for measuring high temperatures, such as in metal processing, glass manufacturing, or furnace operations.

Optical pyrometers offer several advantages, including fast response times, high accuracy, and the ability to measure temperatures from a distance. They are also portable and easy to use, making them suitable for various field applications.

In summary, optical pyrometers are non-contact temperature measurement instruments that are part of the Pressure, Temperature, and Humidity Measuring and Controlling Instruments supply class in the Instruments and Laboratory Equipment supply group.
