0.950 during the 4180 or 4181 calibration. Therefore, when calibrating IR thermometers using the 4180 or 4181, it is best practice to use an IR thermometer emissivity setting of 0.950. Some IR thermometers do not have an ad- justable emissivity setting. -
Page 24: Forced Air And Convection
35.0 Forced Air and Convection Since the 4180 and 4181 have a large surface area, a major component of the tempera- ture uncertainty is caused by changes in convection. Because of this, the user should keep the instrument away from areas with large amounts of air flow or drafts. -
