In these cases the error at each wavelength due to underfilling the field of view cancels when taking the ratio of signals. Similarly, where targets are partially obscured by dust or windows, ratio thermometers are often unaffected. One drawback of ratio thermometers is that their sensitivity to measurement errors (including an erroneous assumption of constant emissivity) tends to be significantly worse than for typical spectral-band thermometers. 3, rather than the intensity as is the case for a spectral-band thermometer.
The shape of the blackbody curves is much less dependent on temperature than is the intensity. 16) where Λ = λ1λ2 ( λ2 − λ1 ) . 16) highlights the increased sensitivity to measurement errors. 8)) but with λ replaced by Λ. Thus, Λ can be considered as the equivalent spectral-band wavelength. 7 times as large as the error for the spectral-band thermometer. 36 Chapter 3 In a furnace, where reflected radiation is always present, a ratio thermometer is virtually useless. 14)), so that even if the target is a true graybody, the ratio signal will not be independent of emissivity: R= ε (λ1 ) S (λ1 , T ) + [1 − ε (λ1 )] S (λ1 , Tw ) .
Lastly, when only limited information is available about an error, we can estimate its range of likely values and treat this range as an uncertainty. In this chapter we focus on the errors themselves, while methods for handling and propagating uncertainties are treated in Chapter 5. 4. 13), determines the amount of reflected radiation. Knowledge of the emissivity of the target material is required to compensate or correct the reading on the thermometer. Before making a measurement, it is always necessary to 39 40 Chapter 4 do some work in determining the best value of emissivity to use.
