A Thermal dose unit (TDU) is a unit of measurement used in the
oil and gas industry to measure exposure to
thermal radiation
Thermal radiation is electromagnetic radiation generated by the thermal motion of particles in matter. Thermal radiation is generated when heat from the movement of charges in the material (electrons and protons in common forms of matter) i ...
. It is a function of
intensity (power per unit area) and exposure time.
1 TDU = 1 (kW/m
