The brief

The HIVE facility uses a unique spectropyrometer, that measures surface temperature without emissivity data and includes uncertainty.

We seek another for the HHFTVF facility.

This equipment is to be used on a high heat flux test facility which primarily, though not exclusively, uses induction heating to heat metallic samples in a vacuum.

The equipment is required to provide a non-contact temperature measurement through a window of the vacuum vessel.

The key point is that for the surface of interest, the emissivity, emissivity profile with temperature/wavelength/surface finish etc. is unknown and/or spatio-temporally changing.

The equipment needs to measure surface temperature without the emissivity being inputted by the user.

We need this as typical non-contact temperature (thermography) measurements require accurate knowledge of the emissivity of a surface to provide an accurate temperature measurement, but we do not have this information for the surfaces of interest.

A detailed list of requirements can be seen in the attached documents, which can be downloaded for viewing.
