The temperatures and emissivities of the metallic thermal protection blanket at (900–1,300) °C are investigated experimentally
by using a multi-wavelength pyrometer. A linear relation between the emissivity and true temperature at different wavelengths
is assumed. Based on this assumption, the true temperatures and spectral emissivities of the metallic thermal protection blanket
at the two temperature measurement points can be calculated simultaneously. Some experimental results for the practical data
processing of measurements performed on the metallic thermal protection blanket show that the difference between the calculated
temperature and the temperature measured by a standard thermocouple is within ± 10°C.
