Publisher's Synopsis
Optical Pyrometry is a book written by Charles William Waidner and published in 1905. It is a comprehensive guide to the principles and techniques of measuring high temperatures using optical pyrometry. The book covers the theory of radiation and its interaction with matter, as well as the principles of optical pyrometry and the design and construction of pyrometers. It also includes detailed descriptions of various types of pyrometers, such as the disappearing filament pyrometer, the optical wedge pyrometer, and the thermoelectric pyrometer. The book is aimed at scientists, engineers, and technicians who work with high temperatures in various industries, including metallurgy, glassmaking, and ceramics. It is an essential reference for anyone interested in the measurement of high temperatures using optical pyrometry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
