A Pyrometer is a temperature measuring device. The word radiation in the name indicates that it does not have to be in contact with the object in order to measure the temprature. A Radiation Pyrometer has a sensor within which detects the Infra-Red radition [heat], sends that value to a mini-computer which converts that signal to a temperature reading. To use a Radiation Pyrometer, one simply points it at the object, pulls a trigger or presses a button, and reads a meter or display in order to determine the temperature of the object.

Measure how hot or cold something is?
temperature! A good thermometer, a thermocouple, a thermoresistance, a pyrometer, etc.
Is a radiation pyrometer able to measure the temperature of sun?
No. The temperature of the sun cannot be measured by pyrometer. It is measured by a special device called Bolometer.
What does a pyrometer do?
A pyrometer is a device that is used to measure thermal radiation, a type of heat energy. It is useful for those who work on heating houses or or who do any work where heat transfer is important.
An instrument that measures very high temperatures.?
An instrument that measures very high temperatures is called a pyrometer. The most modern type of pyrometer measures thermal radiation through pyrometry.
How do you use optical in a sentence?
That laser light really did damage my optic nerve.
What instrument is used to measure molten metal?
For the temperature you can use a thermocouple or an optical pyrometer.
What instrument is used to measure temperature of heat treatment furnace?
Optical Pyrometer
What instrument is used to measure the temperature of hot metal?
PYROMETER is an instrument for measuring high temperatures esp. in furnaces and kilns
What instrument should be used to measure the temperature up to 3000 k?
I suppose that an optical pyrometer is adequate.
What has the author D E Poland written?
D. E. Poland has written: 'Corrected optical pyrometer readings' -- subject(s): Pyrometers and pyrometry
Ways to take the temperature of a fire?
The best method is to use a pyrometer.
