Abstract
A method of calibrating transceiver positions inside an acoustic pyrometry measuring vessel that contains a plurality of transceivers, includes determining () a speed of sound in the acoustic pyrometry measuring vessel from a temperature and gas composition of a gas inside the acoustic pyrometry measuring vessel, acquiring () time-of-flight (TOFs) Δtimeasurements from a plurality of pairs i,j of transceivers inside the acoustic pyrometry measuring vessel, estimating () a radius of the acoustic pyrometry measuring vessel from an average of the acquired TOF measurements, and using () an estimated radius of the acoustic pyrometry measuring vessel to estimate errors Δθj of displacement angles of the transceivers.
