Page 258: Why Do Some Gases Absorb Infrared Energy
Why do some gases absorb infrared energy? From a simplistic mechanical point of view, molecules in a gas could be compared to weights (the balls in the figures below), connected together via springs. Depending on the number of atoms, their respective size and mass, the elastic constant of the springs, mole- cules may move in given directions, vibrate along an axis, rotate, twist, stretch, rock, wag, etc.
Page 259 FLIR GF3xx series cameras take advantage of the absorbing and emitting nature of cer- tain molecules, to visualize them in black or white in their native environments. The gas visualization contrast is a function of the gas concentration multiplied by the path length (CL), the temperature difference between to background (e.g.

Page 267: The Differences Between A Calibration Performed By A User And That Performed Directly At Flir Systems
The camera calibration certificate is con- firmation of this. It is proof that not only has the calibration been performed by FLIR Sys- tems but that it has also been carried out using calibrated references. Some users own or have access to accredited reference sources, but they are very few in number.
Page 268: Non-Uniformity Correction
About calibration For instance, one has to ensure that the distance between the blackbody and the camera as well as the diameter of the blackbody cavity are chosen so as to reduce stray radiation and the size-of-source effect. To summarize: a validated protocol must comply with the physical laws for radiance, and not only those for temperature.
Page 269: Thermographic Measurement Techniques
Thermographic measurement techniques 32.1 Introduction An infrared camera measures and images the emitted infrared radiation from an object. The fact that radiation is a function of object surface temperature makes it possible for the camera to calculate and display this temperature. However, the radiation measured by the camera does not only depend on the temperature of the object but is also a function of the emissivity.
Page 270 Thermographic measurement techniques 32.2.1.1.1 Method 1: Direct method Follow this procedure: 1. Look for possible reflection sources, considering that the incident angle = reflection an- gle (a = b). Figure 32.1 1 = Reflection source 2. If the reflection source is a spot source, modify the source by obstructing it using a piece if cardboard.
Page 271 Thermographic measurement techniques 3. Measure the radiation intensity (= apparent temperature) from the reflection source us- ing the following settings: • Emissivity: 1.0 • D You can measure the radiation intensity using one of the following two methods: Figure 32.3 1 = Reflection source Figure 32.4 1 = Reflection source You can not use a thermocouple to measure reflected apparent temperature, because a thermocouple measures temperature, but apparent temperatrure is radiation intensity.
Page 272 Thermographic measurement techniques 5. Measure the apparent temperature of the aluminum foil and write it down. The foil is considered a perfect reflector, so its apparent temperature equals the reflected appa- rent temperature from the surroundings.

Page 274: History Of Infrared Technology
History of infrared technology Before the year 1800, the existence of the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum wasn't even suspected. The original significance of the infrared spectrum, or simply ‘the in- frared’ as it is often called, as a form of heat radiation is perhaps less obvious today than it was at the time of its discovery by Herschel in 1800.
Page 275 History of infrared technology Moving the thermometer into the dark region beyond the red end of the spectrum, Her- schel confirmed that the heating continued to increase. The maximum point, when he found it, lay well beyond the red end – in what is known today as the ‘infrared wavelengths’. When Herschel revealed his discovery, he referred to this new portion of the electromag- netic spectrum as the ‘thermometrical spectrum’.
Page 276 History of infrared technology Figure 33.4 Samuel P. Langley (1834–1906) The improvement of infrared-detector sensitivity progressed slowly. Another major break- through, made by Langley in 1880, was the invention of the bolometer. This consisted of a thin blackened strip of platinum connected in one arm of a Wheatstone bridge circuit upon which the infrared radiation was focused and to which a sensitive galvanometer re- sponded.

Theory of thermography 34.1 Introduction The subjects of infrared radiation and the related technique of thermography are still new to many who will use an infrared camera. In this section the theory behind thermography will be given. 34.2 The electromagnetic spectrum The electromagnetic spectrum is divided arbitrarily into a number of wavelength regions, called bands, distinguished by the methods used to produce and detect the radiation.
Page 278: Blackbody Radiation
Such cavity radiators are commonly used as sources of radiation in temperature refer- ence standards in the laboratory for calibrating thermographic instruments, such as a FLIR Systems camera for example. If the temperature of blackbody radiation increases to more than 525°C (977°F), the source begins to be visible so that it appears to the eye no longer black.

Theory of thermography 34.3.1 Planck’s law Figure 34.3 Max Planck (1858–1947) Max Planck (1858–1947) was able to describe the spectral distribution of the radiation from a blackbody by means of the following formula: where: Blackbody spectral radiant emittance at wavelength λ. λb Velocity of light = 3 ×...

Page 281: Stefan-Boltzmann's Law
Theory of thermography At room temperature (300 K) the peak of radiant emittance lies at 9.7 μm, in the far infra- red, while at the temperature of liquid nitrogen (77 K) the maximum of the almost insignifi- cant amount of radiant emittance occurs at 38 μm, in the extreme infrared wavelengths. Figure 34.6 Planckian curves plotted on semi-log scales from 100 K to 1000 K.
Page 282: Non-Blackbody Emitters
Theory of thermography Using the Stefan-Boltzmann formula to calculate the power radiated by the human body, at a temperature of 300 K and an external surface area of approx. 2 m , we obtain 1 kW. This power loss could not be sustained if it were not for the compensating absorption of ra- diation from surrounding surfaces, at room temperatures which do not vary too drastically from the temperature of the body –...
Page 283 Theory of thermography For highly polished materials ε approaches zero, so that for a perfectly reflecting material λ (i.e. a perfect mirror) we have: For a graybody radiator, the Stefan-Boltzmann formula becomes: This states that the total emissive power of a graybody is the same as a blackbody at the same temperature reduced in proportion to the value of ε...
Page 284: Infrared Semi-Transparent Materials
Theory of thermography 34.4 Infrared semi-transparent materials Consider now a non-metallic, semi-transparent body – let us say, in the form of a thick flat plate of plastic material. When the plate is heated, radiation generated within its volume must work its way toward the surfaces through the material in which it is partially absorbed. Moreover, when it arrives at the surface, some of it is reflected back into the interior.
Page 285: The Measurement Formula
The measurement formula As already mentioned, when viewing an object, the camera receives radiation not only from the object itself. It also collects radiation from the surroundings reflected via the ob- ject surface. Both these radiation contributions become attenuated to some extent by the atmosphere in the measurement path.
Page 286 U according to the same equation, and get (Equation 3): Solve Equation 3 for U (Equation 4): This is the general measurement formula used in all the FLIR Systems thermographic equipment. The voltages of the formula are: Table 35.1 Voltages Calculated camera output voltage for a blackbody of temperature T i.e.
Page 287 5 volts, the resulting curve would have been very much the same as our real curve extrapolated beyond 4.1 volts, provided the calibration algorithm is based on ra- diation physics, like the FLIR Systems algorithm. Of course there must be a limit to such extrapolations.
