This book describes the theory of radiation thermometry, both at a primary level and for a variety of applications, such as in the materials processing industries and remote sensing. This book is written for those who will apply radiation thermometry in industrial practice; use radiation thermometers for scientific research; the radiation thermometry specialist in a national measurement institute; developers of radiation thermometers who are working to innovate products for instrument manufacturers, and developers of non-contact thermometry methods to address challenging thermometry problems. .. .. The authors of each chapter were chosen from a group of international scientists who are experts in the field and specialists on the subject matter covered in the chapter. A large number of references are included at the end of each chapter as a resource for those seeking a deeper or more detailed understanding... .. .. This book is more than a practice guide, readers will gain in-depth knowledge in: .. (1) the proper selection of the type of thermometer; .. (2) the best practice in using the radiation thermometers; .. (3) awareness of the error sources and subsequent appropriate procedure to reduce the overall uncertainty; and .. (4) understanding of the calibration chain and its current limitations.

1. Introduction
An intuitive understanding of temperature, associated with the sensations of hot and cold, has been recognized since ancient times. However it was not until 1592, when Galileo invented the air thermoscope, that quantitative thermometry began. Extensive investigations of various types of liquid-in-glass thermometers in the 17th century led to the establishment of the Fahrenheit temperature scale (first reported in 1724) and the Celsius (or centigrade) temperature scale (1742–1744). Some 100 years later in the middle of the 19th century, based on the principles of thermodynamics, Lord Kelvin (William Thomson) laid the foundation of the thermodynamic temperature scale. Today the reliable measurement of temperature has become an essential component of nearly every field of science and industry, in
