Development and Validation of a Long Wavelength Infrared (LWIR) Radiation Thermometer for Contactless Temperature Measurements in Gas Turbines During Operation

A collection of slides from the author's conference presentation is given. The presentation introduces the infrared-optical characterization of thermal barrier coatings and the development of LWIR pyrometer for measuring temperature in an operating gas turbine. The test facility for evaluating the LWIR pyrometer is also presented. This presentation includes the experimental setup for LWIR calibration and measurement.
