  The Requirement for Background Radiation Compensation in Infrared Thermometry

  Friday, May 29, 2020 | Manfred Hayk

  Application

  Every warm or hot object emits infrared radiation. The radiated power P depends on the object’s core temperature T and its surface emissivity ε as per the Stefan Boltzmann Law

  What is Emissivity?

  Monday, August 5, 2019 | Fiona Turner

  Application

  The emissivity of a material, usually denoted as ε, is the ratio of the energy radiated by the material to the energy radiated by a black body at the same temperature. It is a measure of a material’s ability to absorb and radiate energy. A true black body would have an ε = 1 while any real object would have ε < 1. Emissivity is a numerical value and does not have units.
