You can choose between user-defined emissivity and 8 materials with permanently set emissivity. The reflected temperature (RTC) can be set individually. Other materials can be imported into the instrument from an existing list using the PC software. Emissivity information: The emissivity describes the capability of a body to emit electromagnetic radiation. This is material-specific and must be adapted for correct measurement results. Non-metals (paper, ceramic, gypsum, wood, paints and coatings), plastics and food have high emissivity, which means that the surface temperature can be easily measured using infrared. Because of their low or non-uniform emissivity, bright metals and metal oxides only have limited suitability for infrared measurement. Highly inaccurate measurements should be expected. A remedy for this is coatings that increase emissivity, e.g. paint or emission adhesive (accessory: 0554 0051), which must be applied to the object to be measured. The following table gives typical emissivities of important materials. These values can be used as a guide for user-defined settings. 29 7 Performing the measurement Material (material temperature) Emissivity Aluminium, bright rolled (170 °C) Cotton (20 °C) Concrete (25 °C) Ice, smooth (0 °C) Iron, emery-ground (20 °C) Iron with casting skin (100 °C) Iron with rolling skin (20 °C) Gypsum (20 °C) Glass (90 °C) Rubber, hard (23 °C) Rubber, soft grey (23 °C) Wood (70 °C) Cork (20 °C) Radiator, black anodised (50 °C) Copper, slightly tarnished (20 °C) Copper, oxidised (130 °C) Plastics: PE, PP, PVC (20 °C) Brass, oxidised (200 °C) Paper (20 °C) Porcelain (20 °C) Black paint, matt (80 °C) Steel, heat-treated surface (200 °C) Steel, oxidised (200 °C) Clay, burnt (70 °C) Transformer paint (70 °C) Brick, mortar, plaster (20 °C) 0.04 0.77 0.93 0.97 0.24 0.80 0.77 0.90 0.94 0.94 0.89 0.94 0.70 0.98 0.04 0.76 0.94 0.61 0.97 0.92 0.97 0.52 0.79 0.91 0.94 0.93 Reflected temperature information: Using this offset factor, the reflection is calculated out based on the low emissivity, and the accuracy of the temperature measurement with infrared measuring instruments is improved. In most cases, the reflected temperature is identical to the ambient air temperature. Only when objects with strong emissions at much lower temperatures (such as cloudless skies during outdoor readings) or much higher temperatures (such as ovens or machines) are in proximity to the object being measured should the radiation temperature of these sources be determined and used. The reflected temperature has little effect on objects with high emissivity. 30 7 Performing the measurement Further information can be found in the Pocket Guide. 7.6.1 Selecting the emissivity 1 - Select the Emissivity function. 2 - Move the joystick up/down to select the required material (with permanently set emissivity) and then press OK. 7.6.2 Customizing the emissivity 1 - Select the Emissivity function. 2 - Move the joystick up/down until User defined is selected. - Move the joystick to the right until E is selected. - Manually set value. 3 - Press OK. 7.6.3 Setting the RTC 1 - Select the Emissivity function. 2 - Move the joystick to the right until RTC is selected. - Manually set value. 3 - Press OK. 7.6.4 Setting ε-Assist 1 - Select the Emissivity function. 2 - Move the joystick to the right until ε-Assist is selected. 3 - Press OK. 31 7 Performing the measurement 4 - Affix ε-marker to the object and measure with the camera.
