Preferred Label : local flame temperature;
Detailed label : local flame temperature in flame emission and absorption spectrometry, T1;
IUPAC definition : The effective thermodynamic temperature in the observation space as measured by a
specific sensor for a specified element (in K). The temperature of a flame (or other
plasma) is not homogeneous. It is usually lower at the borders of the flame. It is
therefore appropriate to speak of an effective temperature which represents an average
value of all temperatures throughout the observation space. The flame temperature
depends on several factors such as: kind of plasma, kind of gas or gas mixture and
concentration gradient of the thermometric species in the observation space.;
