How to find out correct emissivity:
1. Measure the real temperature of measuring object with a contact thermometer e.g. thermocouple or
resistance probes.
2. Align the pyrometer at the measuring object and adjust the emissivity until both devices (pyrometer and
contact thermometer) show the same temperature value.
After adjusting the emissivity factor through a correlation measurement you can now measure
temperatures for the calibrated temperature range at an accuracy mentioned in the technical data.
IMPORTANT:
Please pay attention if you take over table values of emissivity to give the value of emissivity factor at a
certain wave length. Adjusting emissivity following table values is not as exactly as adjusting following
a comparing measurement.
