BIPM - CCT-WG-NCTh

Terms of reference:

The terms of reference of WG-NCTh are to study and advise the CCT on issues related to thermal radiation and other non-contact methods for temperature measurement.

Tasks:

Reviewing and reporting on measurements of T – T₉₀ and fixed points by primary non-contact thermometry;
Reviewing the research and application of non-contact primary thermometers to realise the kelvin;
Coordinate activities related to high-temperature fixed points;
Provide appropriate input into the mise en pratique for the definition of the kelvin;
Provide, where required, input into the guides on thermometry;
Provide definitive guidance, when required, on the use of secondary non-contact thermometry methods (e.g. phosphor, gold-cup thermometry);
Support world-wide efforts in standardization of radiation thermometer and thermal imager testing and calibrations;
Develop appropriate uncertainty budgets for radiation thermometry;
Recommend key comparisons relevant to WG-NCTh to the CCT;
Develop, when required, guidance for measurement best practices in novel non-contact thermometry techniques (e.g. plasma and flame thermometry).
