Optical Charts Optical Charts The following optical charts show the diameter of the measuring spot in dependence on the distance between measuring object and sensor. The spot size refers to 90 % of the radiation energy. The distance is always measured from the front edge of the sensor housing / CF-lens holder/ air purge. The size of the measuring object and the optical resolution of the infrared thermometer determine the maximum distance between sensor and measuring object.

Basics of Infrared Thermometry 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. For the measurement of “thermal radiation”...
Emissivity Emissivity 12.1 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 (e – Epsilon) is used as a material constant factor to describe the ability of the body to emit infrared energy.
Emissivity 12.3 Characteristic Emissivity In the case that none of the methods mentioned above help to determine the emissivity you may use the emissivity tables, see Chap. 3, see Chap. 4. These are only average values. The actual emissivity of a ma- terial depends on the following factors: - Temperature - Measuring angle...
