Untitled[edit]
I plan to merge the pyrometry page into this page due to overlap of information. Are there any comments, suggestions, or objections?Selladour (talk) 18:26, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Historical examples[edit]
The word can mean a device to measure high temperatures, not just by measuring infra-red radiation from the surface, even if that is the modern way to do it. I expanded the definition and added one example of a historical pyrometer, which used the expansion of a metal bar. The textbook from 1852 mentions that there were "several varieties" of pyrometers, so I hope we can find more.
