Page 54: How To Determine An Object Emissivity
How to determine an object emissivity Emissivity is the measure of an object ability to absorb, transmit, and emit infrared energy. It can have a value from 0 (shiny mirror) to 1.0 (blackbody). If a value of emissivity higher than the actual one is set, the output will read low, provided that the target temperature is above the ambient one. -
