Theory and Practice of Radiation Thermometry

Here is the most comprehensive treatment available on practical temperature measurement methods using radiation thermometry. All aspects of measurement technology are covered: basic principles, types of radiation thermometers, calibration methods, and applications. Covers the latest instruments and discusses the central problem of radiation thermometry––how to infer the true temperature from the indicated temperature. Generously illustrated.
