Pyrometry: A Practical Treatise on the Measurement of High Temperatures

"Pyrometry: A Practical Treatise on the Measurement of High Temperatures" by Charles R. (Charles Robert) Darling is a scientific guide from the early 1900s concentrated on measuring extremely high temperatures. The volume thoroughly examines the concepts, techniques, and tools employed in high-temperature readings, emphasizing practical use in factories and labs. Early in the book, the author reviews pyrometry's history and its importance in industrial uses. He talks about how regular thermometers can't always be used for very high temperatures and introduces different types of pyrometers, like those that use electricity or resistance. The beginning also makes clear how essential it is to correctly measure temperature for industrial jobs and points out how instruments have changed since early attempts. It sets the scene for a full look at the measurement methods and technologies utilized in pyrometry.
