Measurement, Validation and Uncertainty of an Experimental Procedure to Characterize the Size-of-Source Effect of Radiation Thermometers, in the Framework of an Industrial Calibration Laboratory
Abstract:An experimental procedure for characterizing the size-of-source effect (SSE) is proposed. Such an effect is the cause of one of the main influence variables generating uncertainty in the measurement, both in calibration and use, of direct reading radiation thermometers (RT). The procedure and uncertainty calculation described in the paper are aligned in terms of metrological traceability, with the requirements generally imposed to ensure the accuracy of measurements in industry and science.
