Resumo

Power plants require high temperature measurement techniques to monitor and control corrosion and fouling of major components. A number of high temperature techniques in use in the research laboratory for some time, are now being used to make direct measurements in various power plant streams. This paper reviews the need for these techniques, some recent applications in power plants and the future of high temperature monitoring in power plants.
