The main objective was to answer whether the detection of clogging and refractory wear can be measured using contactless temperature measurement. Thus, developing a laboratory trial set-up was necessary to conduct measurements with various contactless temperature measurement methods, e.g., Infrared Camera, Pyrometer, and Broadband Spectral Thermometer. Furthermore, thermocouples were used as a reference.
