Surface temperature measurement of flame spread using thermographic phosphors

På svenska

Author

Summary, in English

A technique based on remote measurements of surface temperature in connection to fires is presented. Pulsed ultraviolet laser radiation at 266 nm and 7 ns duration was used to excite a thermographic phosphor, Mg4FGeO6: Mn, which was adapted on the surface of the investigated material. The laser-induced emission from the phosphor was recorded. A calibration of the phosphorescence lifetime and spectral properties against temperature allowed surface temperature measurements between 25°C and 500°C. The method was tested and compared with thermocouple measurements on burning materials such as lowdensity

fiberboards and polymethylmethan acrylate.
