Summary:

An analysis is presented of an x-ray absorption method for determining high gas temperatures. The indicated temperature represents the mean density of the gas. Correction factors for dissociation and air-gas mixture are calculated as a function of temperature for stoichiometric mixtures of hydrocarbons and air. Design suggestions for a practical instrument are given on the basis of a theoretical analysis, which is corroborated by a few experimental data.
