Expert consulting on noncontact radiation thermometer system designs
(pyrometers) and other advanced instrumentation systems.
Many industrial processes depend on being able to accurately measure and
control product temperatures to achieve desired properties. Which makes more sense: Installing a temperature measurement system "on
the cheap" that could end up costing you millions of dollars in poor
product quality, or spending a few extra thou up-front to have the job done
right? It's your company's bottom line, and it doesn't take a rocket
scientist to determine the answer.
Profile: Ralph Rudolph (Rudy) was a Senior
Research Scientist in charge of advanced temperature measurement systems at
U.S.Steel's Applied Research Lab (1972-1984) and at Bethlehem Steel's Homer
Research Lab (1984-2001). He was a member of ASTM E-20.02, was on loan to
N.I.S.T as a researcher, lectured at N.I.S.T, has been a contributing author
on temperature measurement techniques, has written training manuals, and has
numerous patents in industrial instrumentation systems. He is a practical
"hands-on" type as well as a theoretician. He is now retired,
more or less and and is doing this as he feels there is a need for expertise
in this poorly-understood field. For more on his background, click on "profile" to your
