An improved new type pyrometer and a method for fusing an alumina pipe having a high purity are disclosed. The temperature-measuring portion of the pyrometer includes a protective pipe made of alumina having a purity of at least 99.9% and a temperature-measuring resistance element of a platinum or platinum-rhodium resistance wire and a holding portion made of alumina having a purity of at least 99.9%. Owing to the use of high purity alumina, the platinum or platinum-rhodium resistance wire is not contaminated and has stable temperature characteristics at high temperatures. According to the method of this invention, an end of an alumina pipe having a purity of at least 99.9% can be fused without the aid of any binder by fusing the end while evacuating air from the alumina pipe through its opposite end.
