ABSTRACT:
When a steel sheet or the like is heated in a furnace to a temperature somewhat higher than the room temperature and is still or moved, its temperature can be measured by detecting the radiant energy therefrom. The measurement is normally difficult due to the influence of background noise of radiant energy from the surroundings, change of the transmittance factor of the environment or atmosphere for radiant energy, and change of the emissivity of the object to be measured. In order to remove such causes of errors and to correctly measure the temperature by detecting radiant energy, a radiometer and a black body radiator are disposed symmetrically and specularly with respect to the normal to a surface of an object to be measured, and two different amounts of radiant energies are emitted from the black body radiator, and the emissivity of the object to be measured is determined from the detected values from the radiometer, the two temperature values of the black body radiator, and the diffusely reflecting factor associated with the object to be measured, whereby correct measurement of the surface temperature of the object to be measured can be done. Embodiments for implementing this method are proposed.
