Describe a Pyrometer.

Open in App

Solution

Pyrometer is a instrument for measurement of temperature. Most of pyrometer measured relatively high temperature such as encountered in furnaces. Pyrometers are closely related to bolometer and thermistor and are used in thermometry. On the basis of how it works, it has mainly four types :
$1.$ Radiation pyrometer.
$2.$ Optical pyrometer.
$3.$ Resistance pyrometer
$4.$ Thermocouple pyrometer.

Q. Explain why an optical pyrometer(for measuring high temperatures) calibrated for an ideal black body radiation gives too low a value for the temperature of a red hot iron piece in the open, but gives a correct value for the temperature when the same piece is in the furnace.

Q. A student forgot to add the reaction mixture to the round bottomed flask at

27^{o} C

but instead he/she placed the flask on the flame. After a lapse of time, he realized his mistake, and using a pyrometer he found the temperature of the flask was

477^{o} C

. What fraction of air would have been expelled out?
