Does radiation affect the measurement of temperature with a thermocouple?

What will be an ideal response?


Radiation can affect the sensing of a gas, vapor or liquid when measured with a
thermocouple. Particularly does it affect the sensing of temperature if the
radiation is directed to the thermocouple. If the radiation is from a surface that
is at a higher temperature than the surroundings it will making the
thermocouple reading higher than it should be. If the radiation comes from a
surface that is at a lower temperature than the surroundings, the thermocouple
will sense a lower value.
