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)Reply
Text and/or other creative content from Pyrometry was copied or moved into Pyrometer. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

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.
