For many years radiation thermometers have been used to make non-contact temperature measurements of hot objects, particularly in industrial situations such as reformer furnaces, steel reheat furnaces, and ceramics kilns. ... Radiation thermometers work by detecting the radiant energy, typically over a restricted range of wavelengths, emitted by the object of interest and using Planck's radiation law to relate this energy to temperature. 4, record 1, English, - radiation%20thermometer
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
A radiation thermometer is unable to distinguish between the radiation emitted by an object (the component that is related to the objects temperature) and radiation reflected by the object that originates from neighbouring objects. 5, record 1, English, - radiation%20thermometer
