The difference in height between the axis of the observed space (optical axis) and
the burner tip
(in
). The optical axis of the instrument should be the same as the optical axis of the
observation space. Other definitions which express the observation height as a fraction
of the whole flame height are not recommended because the height to the tip of the
flame is not well defined. The observation height should be stated in the method.
