Les méthodes optiques sont les méthodes de choix pour mesurer les températures supérieures à 1000° C. La couleur des radiations émises par un corps chauffé donne des indications sur la température de ce corps. [...] Les pyromètres optiques sont de trois types. 1. Le pyromètre monochromatique à disparition de filament. [...] 2. Le pyromètre monochromatique photo-électrique. [...] 3. Le pyromètre à radiation totale. 2, record 2, French, - pyrom%C3%A8tre%20optique
