“…Several approaches for measuring temperature in such environments have been studied in the past (4)(5)(6)(7)(8) . One such method is to implement two-color radiation thermometry, which is a non-contact method that can measure the temperature of inaccessible objects, moving objects, and objects with changing emissivities (1,(9)(10)(11) . However, a two-color radiation thermometer (RT) must operate in atmospheric windows with a high atmospheric transmission, and it is difficult to employ these as durable and reliable temperature measure-ment devices in some cases with harsh measurement environments because the thermal radiation emitted by the measured object is continuously influenced by the environment itself (3) .…”

Many industrial processes require reliable temperature measurements in harsh environments with high temperature, dust, humidity, and pressure. However, commercially-available conventional temperature measurement devices are not suitable for use in such conditions. This study thus proposes a reliable, durable two-color radiation thermometer (RT) for harsh environments that was developed by selecting the appropriate components, designing a suitable mechanical structure, and compensating environmental factors such as absorption by particles and gases. The two-color RT has a simple, compactlydesigned probe with a well-structured data acquisition system combined with efficient LabVIEW-based code. As a result, the RT can measure the temperature in real time, ranging from 300 to 900 o C in extremely harsh environments, such as that above the burden zone of a blast furnace. The error in the temperature measurements taken with the proposed twocolor RT compared to that obtained using K-type thermocouple readouts was within 6.1 to 1. O and the scattering by fine particles were calculated to find the transmittance of the two wavelength bands of operation through the path between the measured burden surface and the two-color probe. This method is applied to determine the transmittance of the short and long wavelength bands to be 0.31 and 0.51, respectively. Accordingly, the signals that were measured were corrected, and the true burden surface temperature was calculated. The proposed two-color RT and the correction method can be applied to measure temperatures in harsh environments where light-absorbing gases and scattering particles exist and optical components can be contaminated.
