What is another word for radiation pyrometer?
Pronunciation: [ɹˌe͡ɪdɪˈe͡ɪʃən pa͡ɪɹˈɒmiːtə] (IPA) 
Radiation pyrometer is a scientific device that is used to measure the temperature of an object by measuring the amount of radiation given off by the object. There are various synonyms for this term, including infrared pyrometer, optical pyrometer, and non-contact thermometer. An infrared pyrometer makes use of the infrared spectrum of radiation to measure the temperature of objects without any physical contact. An optical pyrometer is used to measure the temperature of objects when radiated light is measured in the visible spectrum. Similarly, a non-contact thermometer is a modern device that utilizes infrared technology to detect temperature changes from a distance without coming into contact with the object. All of these devices serve the same purpose, and their names are used interchangeably in scientific and technical fields.
