Page 38: Emissivity
USER MANUAL Emissivity What Is Emissivity? The standard of radiation is "blackbody" radiation which exists in any enclosure whose walls are at a uniform temperature. The shape of the enclosure and the wall material have no effect on this radiation, it being a function of temperature alone. A small hole in such an enclosure only affects this radiation level very slightly.
Page 39 USER MANUAL c) Temperature d) Angle of view e) Wavelength For materials with smooth, clean (no oxidation) surfaces, emissivities are usually in the range 0.05 to 0.50 and are usually very wavelength dependent, being higher at shorter wavelengths. The appropriate settings for the RAZ-IR thermal camera are given in the following tables.
