Temperaturmåling ved brændingerne i de rekonstruerede middelalderlige pottemagerovne

Measuring the firing temperature in reconstructed medieval pottery kilns
By Hugo Rasmussen

This article explains how measurements are done and the technical prerequisites for measuring the temperature. In this series of experiments, 48 temperature sensors were used concurrently. The sensors used are mechanically stabile at temperatures of approx. 1000 degrees Celsius, but are, unfortunately, easily affected by the  oxygen content of the air. A computer continuously collected
measurements. The results thus obtained can be used to compare
the manner in which the three kilns function, but cannot be used
for a precise determination of the actual temperatures in the kilns.
