Summary

Chapter Nine concerns manually operated pyrometers including disappearing filament and two-colour pyrometers. Disappearing filament pyrometers are spectral pyrometers, operating at wavelength 0.65 µm. Their description covers: scale defining equations for black and non-black bodies, role of red filter, extension of measurement range, applications and constructions.

Description of two-colour pyrometers covers: scale defining equation, stressing the possibility of measuring true temperature of grey bodies and also the method of calculating corrections while measuring temperature of non-grey bodies.
