Abstract

Article highlights practical issues concerning temperature measurements using thermal sensitive paint (abbrev. TSP). TSP paint after blue light excitation emits red light with intensity dependent on its temperature. Temperature measurements are preceded with paint calibration, according to exact experiment conditions. Purpose of calibration is to find transfer function between intensity of emitted radiation and surface temperature. To achieve this goal, special computational procedure is implemented. Devices and methodology used for paint calibration are briefly described as well as measuring sample preparation process. Short description is devoted to the procedure for calculation temperature using recorded intensity. Results obtained during calibration are presented. Final conclusions about perspective of using thermal sensitive paint in laboratory are presented, as well as advantages and disadvantages of TSP method versus other methods currently used in temperature measurements.
