OPTICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The detector responds to infrared radiation in a
area indicated by the CONE OF VISION in Fig.
2.8. It will measure temperature of objects inside
this cone. It will not measure objects outside the
cone.
The spot size (d) is the diameter of the cone at a
particular separation distance (D). Separation dis-
tance is the distance between the front of the sen-
sor and the target object whose temperature is
being measured. In Fig. 2.8, d
1
and d
2
represent
the spot size at two different distances D
1
and D
2.
Correct temperature measurement requires that
the field of view be filled entirely by the target. Fig.
2.9 illustrates this ideal condition. Good practice is
to make sure that the target surface is at least
twice the spot size at the spacing used. This gives
you a "cushion" for shifts in MODLINE 4 or target
position, and for the small tolerances in true vs.
design diameter of the Cone of Vision that are
inherent in all optical pyrometers.
If the target is not larger than the spot size, the
detector will see infrared radiation from other
objects in its field of view as well as the target.
This causes incorrect temperature indications.
