pyrometer
/pʌɪˈrɒmɪtə
/noun
An instrument for measuring high temperatures, especially in furnaces and kilns: radiation pyrometer optical pyrometer...
- Wedgwood was elected a Royal Society Fellow in 1783, primarily for inventing the pyrometer to measure oven temperatures.
- Radiation thermometers are a more recent version of the optical pyrometer.
- On the manual EZ Beader-S, a built-in pyrometer shows temperature.
Derivatives
pyrometric
- Tempering is carried out to an increasing extent under pyrometric control in oil, salt or lead baths.
pyrometrically
- All these indicated issues also hold for light-pipe sensors, which pyrometrically sense the temperature indirectly from underneath the susceptor setup.
pyrometry
- Temperatures reported for incremental steps are as calibrated by optical pyrometry in the case of furnace experiments.
