Dr. Susanne Droescher, Sales Engineer at GreenTEG talks to AZoSensors about characterization of building envelopes and the monitoring of laser power using the gSKIN sensor.
A net radiometer is an actinometer used for measuring net radiation at the Earth’s surface. The net radiation normal to the earth's surface is the difference between the total upward radiation flux and the total downward radiation flux.
Numerous industries such as those involved in manufacturing, processing, storing or transportation of flammable materials.
Most of the sensor systems rely on light as the signal source. LEDs are often ideal as a light source due to their high efficiency.
The thermometer was developed over several years by a number of people - Cornelis Drebbel, Robert Fludd, Galileo Galilei and Santorio Santorio. The word thermometer was derived from two Greek word fragments – ‘thermo’ meaning ‘heat’ and ‘meter’ meaning ‘to measure’.

Broadly speaking, pyrometers belong to a class of thermometers that are used for measuring only high temperatures. However, today they have been modified to measure low temperatures as well.
A bolometer is a highly sensitive instrument used for detecting heat or electromagnetic radiation. It was invented by Samuel Pierpont Langley, an American astronomer, in 1878. This instrument was initially used in combination with a telescope to quantify infrared radiation.
