Explanation

A pyrometer is a specialized temperature measuring device designed for high temperatures, typically above 600 degrees Celsius. It works by measuring the thermal radiation emitted by hot objects rather than using direct contact like conventional thermometers. This makes it ideal for measuring temperatures in furnaces, kilns, and metallurgical processes where traditional thermometers would be destroyed.
