Synopsis: The characteristics of four types of radiation pyrometers in which Si cell, Phototube (Sl), thermopile, and PbS cell are used respectively, have been studied. Influences of emissivity variation, water film, steam, and scale on pyrometer readings are measured. A rotary furnace is used as a model that treats moving hot steel sheets. As the standard of radiation pyrometers, a blackbody furnace and its effective emissivity has been investigated. Results obtained are as follows. 1) The
