C-3
Appendix: Determining an Unknown Emissivity
C
Method 4
1.
Paint a sample of the object material with flat black lacquer paint.
2.
Set the emissivity to 0.97 and measure and record the temperature
of the painted portion of the sample material - Area
“
A
”
in Figure
C-1. Make sure that the painted area of object material fills the
FOV of the thermometer.
3.
Aim the thermometer at another spot on the target - Area
“
B
”
in
Figure C-1.
4.
Adjust the emissivity of the thermometer until the temperature
reading equals the temperature found in Step 2.
Method 5
1.
Use this method where practical to measure objects at
temperatures above 500°F (260°C).
2. Drill a 1.5
"
(35 mm) diameter hole in a sample of the object
material to a depth of 5
"
(127 mm). This hole closely resembles a
blackbody (refer to Appendix A).

3.
Set the emissivity to 0.97 and measure and record the temperature
of the hole in the sample material - Area
“
A
”
in Figure C-2. Make
sure that the hole fills the FOV of the thermometer.
4.
Aim the thermometer at another spot on the target as close as
possible to Area
“
A
”
(Area
“
B
”
in Figure C-2).
5. Adjust the emissivity of the thermometer until the temperature
reading equals the temperature found in Step 3.
