Summary

Chapter Ten is devoted to automatic pyrometers, the most popular group of pyrometers, presenting their optical systems such as lenses, light guides and mirrors, followed by description of thermal and photoelectric radiation detectors. Description of total radiation pyrometers contains their operation principle, measurement of temperature of black and non-black bodies, examples of construction and typical properties.

Similar set of information is given for photoelectric pyrometers highlighting the versatility of their applications, constructions and measuring ranges.

Principle of automatic two-wavelength and multi-wavelength pyrometers, their properties and construction are also presented.
