Publisher's Synopsis
Optical Pyrometry, published in 1905, is a book written by Charles William Waidner that explores the science of measuring high temperatures using optical techniques. The book is divided into two parts: the first part discusses the principles of optical pyrometry, while the second part provides practical applications of these principles.In the first part, Waidner explains the basic principles of radiation and how it can be used to measure temperature. He discusses the different types of radiation, including visible, ultraviolet, and infrared, and explains how each can be used in optical pyrometry. He also covers the different types of pyrometers and their advantages and disadvantages.In the second part of the book, Waidner provides practical examples of how optical pyrometry can be used in various industries, including metallurgy, glassmaking, and ceramics. He discusses the challenges of measuring high temperatures accurately and provides solutions to these challenges.Overall, Optical Pyrometry is a comprehensive guide to the science of measuring high temperatures using optical techniques. It is a valuable resource for scientists, engineers, and anyone interested in the field of temperature measurement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
