    Technical Data Technical Data Functional Principle The thermoIMAGER TIM calculates the surface temperature based on the emitted infrared energy of objects, 10. The two-dimensional detector (FPA - focal plain array) allows a measurement of an area and will be shown as thermographic image using standardized palettes. The radiometric processing of the picture data enables the user to do a comfortable detailed analysis with the software TIM Connect.

  • Page 53: Basics Of Infrared Thermometry

    Basics of Infrared Thermometry Basics of Infrared Thermometry 10.1 Introduction Depending on the temperature each object emits a certain amount of infrared radiation. A change in the tem- perature 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 54 Basics of Infrared Thermometry For the measurement of “thermal radiation” infrared thermometry uses a wave-length ranging between 1 μ and 20 μm. The intensity of the emitted radiation depends on the material. This material contingent constant is described with the help of the emissivity which is a known value for most materials, see Infrared thermometers are optoelectronic sensors.
  • Page 55 Basics of Infrared Thermometry Object Lens Sensor Electronics Display Infrared system Fig. 25 Optical path The advantages of non-contact temperature measurement are clear - it supports: - temperature measurements of moving or overheated - objects and of objects in hazardous surroundings - very fast response and exposure times - measurement without inter-reaction, no influence on the - measuring object...

  • Page 57: Emissivity

    Emissivity Emissivity 11.1 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.

  • Page 58: Determination Of Unknown Emissivity

    Emissivity 11.2 Determination of Unknown Emissivity 3 methods: First of all, determine the current temperature of the measuring object with a thermocouple or contact sensor. The second step is to measure the temperature with the infrared thermometer and modify the emissivity until the displayed measuring value corresponds to the current tem- perature.

    Emissivity Fig. 30 Shiny metal surface Fig. 31 Blackened metal surface Afterwards, determine the temperature of a directly adjacent area and modify the emissivity until the measured value corresponds to the temperature of the colored surface. On all three methods the object temperature must be different from ambient temperature. 11.3 Characteristic Emissivity In the case that none of the methods mentioned above help to determine the emissivity you may use the...
