Radiation thermometry is the basic method for non-contact temperature measurement.
It is called by many names as explained on an informative page of the About Temperature Sensors website (http://www.temperatures.com/rts.html). The same page contains many links to related web resources.
The website IRWeb.INFO, is an open resource on applications information of IR, or Infrared Thermometers, one of the alternate names for radiation thermometry.
Temperature measurement by this method is subject to many error sources and selection of a radiation thermometer to perform a given task can be optimized, if one understands the relationship between the various factors; however, it is not always easy.
One of the major problems using this technology is the difficulty in verifying that a given measurement is within acceptable error.
Despite these facts, there are countless successful applications as detailed on the above two websites and in two notable publications, both with the late Professor Emeritus David P. DeWitt of Purdue University as a co-author: (1) Therory & Practice of Radiation Thermometery (DeWitt, D.P & Nutter E.A. Wiley Interscience) and (2) Applications of Radiation Thermometery (Richmond & DeWitt; ASTM -available for download on the ASTM.org bookstore).

What are the 2 names of radiation?
There are two main types of radiation: External Radiation External radiation is the most common type of radiation, typically given after lumpectomy and sometimes, mastectomy. Internal Radiation Internal radiation is a less common method of giving radiation. It is being studied for use after lumpectomy.
Cosmic radiation and radiation from terrestrial sources are examples of?
Natural background radiation
What is thermameter?
thermometry is a branch of physics that related to the measurements of temprature.actually thermometer measures temprature,it just deal with these measurements.there are many types of thermometry i.e 1-vapour-pressure thermometry 2-radiation thermometry 3-thermocouple etc,etc
