Abstract
The sizeofsource effect SSE is an important uncertainty source in radiation thermometry when radiation targets with different sizes are measured In this article a test pyrometer was established to study the way to reduce the SSE The most dominant factors that influence the SSE include the quality and surface condition of the objective lens the placement and diameter of the aperture stop and the inner baffles Through an optimized lens and redesign of the aperture stop and baffles the SSE of the test pyrometer is reduced to 2 × 10−4 when a 50 mm diameter radiance source with a 4 mm diameter central obscuration is used The improvement method is applied to the primary standard pyrometer for which the SSE is reduced to less than 1 × 10−4
