What exactly is a temperature compensated pyrometer?

0

A temperature compensated pyrometer is not affected by the temperature in the cab. You can race in Death Valley in July and your pyrometer will still be right on the money. A conventional pyrometer only measures the difference in temperature between the exhaust and the gauge head, and that can result in errors. That gauge head could be 0°F on a cold day, and 200°F on a hot day (particularly with a dark colored truck and interior). Does it matter to you if you’re running at 1250°F or 1450°F?
