due to material-dependent
conditions, as in metals
additionally to the surface
texture alloy components
play an important role for
the emissivity.
▪ Is a range given, this is
related to differences in
the nature of the sur-
face from smooth to
rough, rough surfaces
have higher emissivities
(for determining the cor-
rect emissivity also a
comparison measure-
ment can be performed
with a thermocouple).
▪ The emissivities with
"shiny" refer to applica-
tions that are performed
under an inert gas or in
a vacuum.
▪ "n.s." (not specified)
means that no values
exist for this wavelength
range e.g. because a
reasonable measure-
ment in this wavelength
or temperature range is
not possible.
Measurement deviations at a 10% false set
emissivity at a temperature of 700°C:
Materials has a maximum emissivity of 1 (100%). However, a setting of up to 1.2 can be used to compensate
for temperature corrections due to higher background reflection.
To determine the correct emissivity, also a comparative measurement with a thermocouple can be performed.
|INFO|
Emissivity, transmittance and spot size fill factor are directly related to each other, the result of the mul-
tiplication of the 3 parameters has to be minimum 5%. If the multiplication of the 3 parameters falls below 5%,
the values are displayed in red in the SensorTools control window (see 7.3.1).
6.3.4 Transmittance
Is a viewing window located between measuring object and pyrometer, the transmittance of the window must
be considered during the measurement. Enter the transmittance of the window in order to obtain a correct
measurement result.
