How to test upper limit on IR thermometer?

In sci.physics Mycelium said:
I notice that you snipped where I mentioned that lenses ATTENUATE the
signal!

I did make an entire line of high temp devices that used a Pyrex lens.
They get placed in a cooled jacket, and get put right on a glass gob line
looking at blazing hot molten glass gobs.

A single parabolic mirror yields the absolute best image on the sense
element. The ultimate mirror is gold. All first surface, of course.

Usually, a thin film is over the tube as a dust shield.

(____·<<<< The bolometer is at the end of the tube.

The mirror goes at the rear of the tube.

The focus and field of view is determined by the tube length and
diameter, and the mirror focal length. The bolometer gets placed at the
focal point of the mirror. Exactly like a telescope.

Whoop-de-fucking-doo.

Are there any lenses on the Hubble Space Telescope's primary light
gathering system?

I rest my case.

What case, that you can't read?

You were wrong to state that most contain a lens system. The "case" is
one that was made to prove that you are full of shit in making your
retarded, google perused case for lenses. It proves that you really do
not have any facts. All you have are what you can grab up on your
retarded google hunts.

So it appears that it is you that cannot read, and it is your pathetic
life that is in whoop-de-fucking-doo land. It is you that is
ab-so-fucking-lutely stupid. Mostly because of the way you reacted, you
immature little bitch.

A quick perusal of IR pyrometers offered for sale shows that the majority
do have a lens system.

If you have some detailed market research that shows otherwise, let's
see it.

Bloviating on about "your" design says nothing about the original question.

It isn't "my design" you retarded twit. It is the design that was used
by the top players in the industry, dumbfuck!

We made a 2 foot long 4 inch tube version that had a rifle stock, a
rifle scope, and a gold mirror that was used by the power industry for
years before the thermal imager scene hit.

You know NOTHING about it to be touting lens based systems the way you
do.

Since it is easier to make lens based systems, and the attenuation can
be compensated for, most makers today use the cheaper, less accurate
method. The old, tube based systems are not made much any more because
their manufacture is very labor intensive.

That still doesn't change the fact that you are nothing more than a
google twit that likely knows very little about that which you google at
a personal level.

And what percentage of the IR pyrometer market used this design?

Sounds like ancient history to me.

this design.

In the infancy of the industry... ALL of them. Most copied our
design(s).

That included Raytheon, SquareD and all that followed.

Nowadays, it costs more to copy a design than it does to just be a
damned good engineer and create your own.

Nobody is milling the tops off of chips any more to look inside in an
attempt to make a "reasonable" copy (theft). The time frame turns too
quickly.

The resistor bolometer set-up in the early days was as in the picture I
posted up in a.b.s.e

I used to make these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/MIKRON-INFRARED...0?hash=item518385a53e&_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116

They are (were) for looking at insulator strings and pole mounted
transformers from the ground. This allowed power companies to find leaky
insulators and replace them, saving power.

SoCal needs to do this instead of shutting off power during Santa Anas.

I have never seen so many overtly leaking electrical tower insulators in
my life.

Sounds like yet another guess to me. That is sad. That is how you
operate though.

The industry uses what they have. There are plenty of cases where they
are still using the instrument they bought 25 years ago.

Not everybody has the childish 'run right out and get the new shit'
mentality, like the cell phone crazed twits these days do.

You're a goddamned retard.

And that has what to do with currently available devices?

Evasion noticed.

The "market" does not mean "old junk people happen to have".

From the many ads for many makes and models of IR pyrometers, it appears
the market is quite alive and dominated by lens systems.
