INTRODUCTION
• It Is Impossible Of Measure Temperature Of Very Hot
Objects With Traditional Type Of Temperature
Measuring Instruments.

• In Cases Where The Body Has Very High Temperature

Or It Is Not Advisable To Touch The Body With Bare
Hands The Non Contact Type Of Temperature
Measuring Instruments Are Used.
PYROMETER
Pyrometer : A pyrometer is a device that measures high temperatures
by detecting radiation from a hot body or material.

PYROMETER
OPTICAL PYROMETER
A optical pyrometer is a device that measures high
temperatures(700 to 4000 degree Celsius) by detecting
visible thermal radiation from a hot body or material.
INFRARED PYROMETER
A infrared pyrometer is a device that measures high
temperatures by detecting infrared radiation from a hot
body or material.
DETECTORS USED INFRARED
PYROMETER
1. THERMOPILE DETECTOR
2. PYROELECTRICAL DETECTOR (CRYSTALS WHICH
INDUCE VOLTAGE WHEN COOLED OR HEATED)
3. BOLOMETER
4. QUANTUM DETECTOR
APPLICATIONS
• MEASURING TEMPERATURE OF
MOVING OBJECT FROM A DISTANCE.
• IN METALLURGY INDUSTRIES.
• STEAM BOILERS.
• MEASURE FURNACE TEMPERATURE.
• MEASURE BODY TEMPERATURE
(MEDICAL)
ADVANTAGE & DISADVANTAGES

ADVANTAGES : DISADVANTAGES :
• FAST RESPONSE TIME • EXPENSIVE
• GOOD STABILITY WHILE
MEASURING TEMPERATURE • MAY GIVE ERROR WHILE
MEASURING TEMPERATURE
• CAN MEASURE OF SHINY OBJECTS
TEMPERATURE OF
DIFFERENT TYPES OF
OBJECTS AT VARIABLE • CAN NOT MEASURE
DISTANCE. TEMPERATURE THROUGH
TRANSPARENT OBJECTS
LIKE GLASS.
