    1 General Notes 1.1 Intended use The optris PI calculates the surface temperature based on the emitted infrared energy of objects [►6 Basics of Infrared Thermometry]. The two-dimensional detector (FPA - focal plain array) allows a measurement of an area and will be shown as thermal image using standardized palettes. The radiometric processing of the picture data enables the user to do a comfortable detailed analysis with the software PI Connect.

  • Page 57: Basics Of Infrared Thermometry

    Basics of Infrared Thermometry 6 Basics of Infrared Thermometry Depending on the temperature each object emits a certain amount of infrared radiation. A change in the temperature of the object is accompanied by a change in the intensity of the radiation. Searching for new optical material William Herschel by chance found the infrared radiation in 1800.
  • Page 58 He blackened the peak of a sensitive mercury thermometer. This thermometer, a glass prism that led sun rays onto a table made his measuring arrangement. With this, he tested the heating of different colors of the spectrum. Slowly moving the peak of the blackened thermometer through the colors of the spectrum, he noticed the increasing temperature from violet to red.
  • Page 59 Basics of Infrared Thermometry Infrared thermometers are optoelectronic sensors. They calculate the surface temperature on the basis of the emitted infrared radiation from an object. The most important feature of infrared thermometers is that they enable the user to measure objects contactless. Consequently, these products help to measure the temperature of inaccessible or moving objects without difficulties.
  • Page 60 The specifications of the lens decisively determine the optical path of the infrared thermometer, which is characterized by the ratio Distance to Spot size. The spectral filter selects the wavelength range, which is relevant for the temperature measurement. The detector in cooperation with the processing electronics transforms the emitted infrared radiation into electrical signals.

  • Page 63: Emissivity

    Emissivity 7 Emissivity 7.1 Definition The intensity of infrared radiation, which is emitted by each body, depends on the temperature as well as on the radiation features of the surface material of the measuring object. The emissivity (ε – Epsilon) is used as a material constant factor to describe the ability of the body to emit infrared energy.
  • Page 64 Figure 33: Spectral emissivity of several materials: 1 Enamel, 2 Plaster, 3 Concrete, 4 Chamotte If the emissivity chosen is too high, the infrared thermometer may display a temperature value which is much lower than the real temperature – assuming the measuring object is warmer than its surroundings. A low emissivity (reflective surfaces) carries the risk of inaccurate measuring results by interfering infrared radiation emitted by background objects (flames, heating systems, chamottes).

  • Page 65: Determination Of Unknown Emissivity
