  • Page 19: Principle Of Thermal Imaging

    The wavelength of the infrared radiation ‘band’ is 0.78 to 1000µm (micrometers). This is longer than the wavelength of visible light yet shorter that radio waves. The wavelengths of infrared radiation are classified from the near infrared to the far infrared. MC320 Thermal Imager Manual Principle of Thermal Imaging...

  • Page 20: Emissivity

    The emissivity of a body is defined formally by the equation below as the ratio of the radiant energy emitted by the body to the radiation, which would be emitted by a blackbody at the same temperature. Principle of Thermal Imaging MC320 Thermal Imager Manual...

    A law closely t = transmissivity related to the blackbody is Kirchhoff’s law that defines reflection, r = reflectivity transmission, absorption and radiation. e = emissivity a = e = 1 Principle of Thermal Imaging MC320 Thermal Imager Manual...

  • Page 23: Determining Emissivity

    The emissivity of the measured object must be internally corrected to 1 by the thermal imager). Therefore, in order to perform correct measurement for true temperature, the emissivity is determined as follows: MC320 Thermal Imager Manual Principle of Thermal Imaging...
  • Page 24 But since the painted object will not provide a complete blackbody, the emissivity of the painted object needs to be set first and then the temperature can be measured. The following figure shows examples of blackbody paint. Principle of Thermal Imaging MC320 Thermal Imager Manual...
