Lawson, D.I., Simms, D.L., Law, M. and Pickard, R.W., 1954. A COPPER BLOCK ABSOLUTE RADIOMETER. Fire Research Notes 118


ABSTRACT

A copper block has been used as an absolute radiometer by measuring its transient temperature rise on being exposed to radiation. Two methods have been derived and used for calculating the intensity of radiation; the values obtained agree satisfactorily with those obtained using other instruments operating in the same range of intensities (1, 2).
