Accurate temperature measurement performance of a radiation pyrometer cannot be affected, if the ?

Correct answer: B. Object and surrounding are at almost the same temperature

  • A. Enhancement or attenuation of radiation occurs in the sighting path
  • B. Object and surrounding are at almost the same temperature
  • C. Object has varying emissivity
  • D. Object is transparent

Explanation

Radiation pyrometer readings are affected by emissivity, sight-path absorption, transparency, and reflected surroundings. If the object and surroundings are at nearly the same temperature, reflected radiation has little effect on the measured temperature.
