Spectral Considerations in Product and Process Applications<br />

Many products. both simple and complex, have complex spectral<br />

characteristics in the infrared region. Spectral filtering of the measuring<br />

instrument can exploit these complex spectral characteristics to measure and<br />

control product temperature without contact. A good example of the<br />

exploitation of spectral characteristics in the monitoring of incandescent lamp<br />

temperatures during production. An important generic example of the need for<br />

spectral selectivity is in the measurement of plastics being formed into films<br />

and other configurations. Several examples of this exploitation are illustrated<br />

in the detailed discussion of spectral considerations in Chapter 4.<br />
