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.

Abstract:
A method for measuring the temperature of a first material (10) comprises measuring a temperature-related characteristic of a microparticle of a second material (12) in thermal contact with the first material (10) and calculating the temperature of the first material (10) using the measured temperature-related characteristic of the microparticle of the second material (12). The microparticle of the second material (12) can be located on a surface (10a) of the first material (10) in point thermal contact with the surface (10a), thus enabling the measurement of the surface temperature of the first material (10) at the point of contact. An apparatus (14) for measuring the surface temperature of the first material (10) is also described.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To provide a method and instrument by which the emissivity distribution on the surface of a member to be measured can be measured accurately even when no light source is used. CONSTITUTION: The emissivity distribution measuring instrument 10 calculates the temperature Tij of the member 12 to be measured by pixels based on the ratio Rij between the radiant intensities detected at the same portion of the two images of the member 12 respectively obtained by using first and second wavelengths λ1 and λ2 selected out of the light emitted from the surface of the member 12 and the emissivity εij at every pixel based on the temperature distribution(the temperature Tij by pixel) from a predetermined relation. Therefore, the emissivity distribution on the surface of the member 12 can be measured accurately from the radiant intensity εij at every pixel even when no light source is used.

Abstract:
The method is meant for the evaluating of the amount of micro and macro cracks in the pavement of a traffic lane, such as a road or street. The colder water beneath the pavement is under the load of heavy traffic pumped into the micro and macro cracks in the pavement and lowers the temperature of the pavement, so a large difference between the temperatures in different points on the pavement reveals a large amount of cracks. In the method, the examination span of the traffic lane is first selected. Thereafter the temperature T1 of the heavily loaded part of the pavement of the selected examination span and the temperature T2 of the lightly loaded part of the pavement of the same examination span are determined. A difference AT between the determined temperatures is calculated, which difference is compared to a reference value. If the difference is larger than the used reference value, the pavement lets through a significant amount of water. If the difference is smaller than the used reference value, the condition of the pavement is sufficiently good. The temperatures t r of the heavily loaded part of the pavement are measured at the wheel ruts and the temperatures t k of the lightly loaded part of the pavement are measured in the area outside the wheel ruts. The temperatures of the pavement are measured with an apparatus, which is placed in a vehicle travelling on the traffic lane. Alternatively the emissivity ε r of the heavily loaded part of the pavement and the emissivity ε k of the lightly loaded part of the pavement can be determined and the difference Δε can be compared to a reference value.
