6.9.1 Radiation Pyrometer<br />

Radiation pyrometer is a temperature device by which the temperature of hot body is measured<br />

by measuring the intensity of <strong>to</strong>tal heat <strong>and</strong> light radiation emitted by a hot body. A radiation<br />

pyrometer works on the principle of focusing the energy from all wave lengths of radiation<br />

upon a sensitive element thus causing a force <strong>to</strong> be developed in the element which may be
