Abstract
The construction of a general purpose radiation pyrometer using a lead sulphide photocell is described. Based on a comparison principle, the instrument is independent of ambient temperature variations. The temperature range covered is 200-1000° C with an accuracy of ±5° C and a response time of less than 0.1 s.Keywords
