There have been quite a few developments in literature for IR and radiation thermometry. Here is a brief list.
This book was released last month.
Zhang, Z.M., Tsai, B.K., and Machin, G., Radiometric Temperature Measurements, Elsevier Academic Press (2009).
Elsevier has a page with a summary of the contents:

Peter Saunders of MSL in New Zealand has a book availible from SPIE, Radiation Thermometry: Fundamentals and Applications in the Petrochemical Industry.
http://spie.org/x648.html?product_id=741687
MSL also has a new technical guide, "MSL Technical Guide 22, Calibration of Low-Temperature Infrared Thermometers".
http://msl.irl.cri.nz/sites/all/files/training-manuals/TG22-July-2009.pdf
Then there is a standard from BIPM WG5 on uncertainty budgets for radiation thermometer calibration, "CCT-WG5 on Radiation Thermometry, Uncertainty Budgets for Calibration of Radiation Thermometers below the Silver Point"

ASTM Meeting in Atlanta
We held our meeting on Monday in Atlanta. Here is an update on progress from the E20.02 subcommittee on Radiation Thermometry.
WK21204 - Standard Guide for the Selection and Use of Wideband, Low-temperature Infrared Thermometers
This work item was completed and put up for ballot in September. There was one negative. The reason for the negative will be corrected. Then the work item will be balloted to the subcommittee prior to December 15. This way we will be ready to ballot to the main committee in time for our meeting in May.
E 1256 – 95: Standard Test Method for Radiation Thermometers (Single Waveband Type)
The figures have been updated in this standard. They will be put to ballot shortly.
A second item that will be taken care of is standardizing terminology in this standard with the terminology in IEC standards. Work on this will begin mid-February.
Proposed Work Item - Calibration of Wide-band, Low Temperature Infrared Thermometers
This work item will be submitted at the beginning of January. It will use parts of a BIPM standard and part of a technical guide for the uncertainty portion of this standard.

WK21204 Back from Ballot
WK21204 went through subcommittee ballot this past month. Results were 6 affirmative, 1 negative and 6 abstention. After talking to the one negative voter, it was agreed that the negative will be withdrawn if the suggested changes are made.
There was one abstention with comment that will be discussed at length at the November subcommittee meeting in Atlanta. The rest of the comments will be part of the discussion as well.

Updating E1256
I would like to have input on E20.02’s current standard, E1256 Standard Test Methods for Radiation Thermometers. I would like to have some feedback to the following questions.
Do you use E1256?
What parts of E1256 do you use?
What should be added to E1256?
What should be taken away from E1256?
What should be changed in E1256?Please provide feedback before October 15, 2009. We should strive to keep this standard up-to-date and usable for users of radiation thermometers.

WK21204 Goes to Subcommittee Ballot
The proposed guide, WK21204 - Standard Guide for the Selection and Use of Wide-band, Low-temperature Infrared Thermometers, has been sent out for subcommittee ballot. I would like to thank all who have helped to get this work item to this point. If you are a voting member, please cast your vote before October 15, 2009.

E20.02 Progress through 6/26/09
WK21204 - Standard Guide for the Selection and Use of Wide-band, Low Temperature Infrared Thermometers
To this date 90% of the work item has been put into the ASTM standards template. It should be ready for its first review by the task group around 7/2.
