ASTM E2847 covers IR thermometers up to 1000?C, and no more. Is there any standard, from any org., that covers up to 1370?C or higher?

Thanks for the interest. I should add, that for T under 1000?C the std E2847 is excellent. Not just a list of prescriptions, but explanations of components & eqs. & examples.

Jay, unfortunately, I really don't have much to offer you. However, I did want to post to let you know that people did at least look at your request.
I don't know that IR thermometers are tricky gadgets, and difficult to calibrate. Are you trying to verify these in-house?

Re: Calibration of IR thermometers above 1000°C
Turns out, best I can tell, that published standards for high temperature IR measurements are not available. I'll be happy to be corrected anytime. Possibly some development in the works internationally. Meanwhile, I am adapting low T calibration procedures to high T situations. My challenge is that some high T equipment uses a slightly different twist on the IR flux to T conversion. Superior, but not subject to identical sources of uncertainty.
So I leave this thread outstanding: Who has experience with calibrating high temperature IR thermometers? Especially for in-plant use? Who would like to discuss the matter?
