Pyrometer Checks,Tests,and balances

[ToolManTimTaylor]

I can't find my TDR issue that had this in it so sorry for the redundant Q:



Ok To check the low side of accuracy is a rolling boil of water (212*)



Mid [Say 700] is a soldering iron??



High is a PROPANE not MAPP gas torch for the 1600 reading??



Am I off here?

Sorry for the confusion. I posted this with the blackberry last night and I could not possibly type the whole thing out. I wanted to ask HOW to check a pyro probe. Place the probe in boiling water and check it's readout , iron , readout , propane torch , readout.

the easiest is an ice bath.

Just about everything you need to know regarding thermocouples used to measure exhaust gas temperatures (might not answer your question though) in this article from issue 34 of the Turbo Diesel Register: https://www.turbodieselregister.com/EGT_EVAL.pdf
