Emissivity
Emissivity is a term used to desc
energy-emitting characteristics of materials.
Most (90% of typical applications) organic materials
and painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of
0.95 (pre-set in the unit). Inaccurate readings will result
from measuring shiny or polished metal surfaces. To
compensate, cove the surface to be measured with
masking tape or flat black paint. Allow time for the tape
to reach the same temperature as the material
underneath it. Me
