Page 35: 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 36 User Manual For materials with smooth, clean (unoxidised) 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 MobIR M4 IR Thermal Cameras are given in the following tables. It must be remembered that these are only guideline figures.
