Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Determination of the Melting Points of Tantalum and Tungsten: A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
Thus, to determine the true temperature of the melting-point of a metal with an optical pyrometer, either the metal may be melted in a black-body furnace and the temperature taken by observations of the furnace through a small opening, or the black body temperature of the melting-point may be found by taking observations upon the melting metal with the optical pyrometer, and the difference between the black-body and the true temperature determined by some other means.
