Thin filament pyrometry (TFP) is an optical method used to measure temperatures. It involves the placement of a thin filament in a hot gas stream. Radiative emissions from the filament can be correlated with filament temperature. Filaments are typically silicon carbide (SiC) fibers with a diameter of 15 micrometres. Temperatures of about 800–2500 K can be measured.

History
TFP in flames was first used by Vilimpoc et al. (1988).[1] More recently, this was demonstrated by Pitts (1996),[2] Blevins et al. (1999),[3] and Maun et al. (2007).[4]
Technique
The typical TFP apparatus consists of a flame or other hot gas stream, a filament, and a camera.
Advantages
TFP has several advantages, including the ability to simultaneously measure temperatures along a line and minimal intrusiveness. Most other forms of pyrometry are not capable of providing gas-phase temperatures.
Drawbacks
Calibration is required. Calibration typically is performed with a thermocouple. Both thermocouples and filaments require corrections in estimating gas temperatures from probe temperatures. Also, filaments are fragile and typically break after about an hour in a flame.
Applications
The primary application is to combustion and fire research.
