Surface Pyrometer
Equipment
A pyrometer is a device that used to measure the surface temperature of an object without touching the object’s surface. Seen in the image is a surface pyrometer that was fabricated by the Department of Metallurgy at IIT Madras. This surface pyrometer is used to measure the surface temperatures of dies for gravity and pressure die castings, pattern plates of shell moulds, punches and dies of metal forming pressures and cast iron and other steel plates pre-heated for welding. It has two ranges: 0°C to 250°C and 0°C to 500°C with an accuracy of 2°C.
