9781451014327: Pyrometry: A Practical Treatise on the Measurement of High Temperatures (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

The present treatise has been founded on a course of
Cantor Lectures on " Industrial Pyrometry," delivered
by the author before the Royal Society of Arts in the
autumn of 1910. The practice of pyrometry in recent
years has progressed at a greater rate than the litera-
ture bearing upon it ; and the author is not aware of
the existence of any other book written in English
which treats the subject from the standpoint of the
actual daily use of the instruments. In the succeeding
pages the exact measurement of temperature, as an
end in itself, is made subordinate to the practical
utility of pyrometers in controlling various operations ;
and consequently descriptions of appliances of interest
only theoretically have either been omitted, or at the
most briefly described. Nevertheless, the fundamental
principles are in all cases fully explained, as an under-
standing of these is essential to the intelligent use of
the appliances dealt with in the book.
