Radiation pyrometers as compared to thermocouples____________________?
Correct answer: B. Can measure higher temperature
- A. Has a slower speed of response
- B. Can measure higher temperature
- C. Can't measure the temperature of moving objects
- D. Is more affected by corrosive atmosphere
Explanation
Radiation pyrometers measure emitted radiation without contacting the object, so they are suitable for temperatures beyond the practical range of many thermocouples. They can also measure moving or inaccessible objects, making the other choices incorrect.
