materials. The emissivity of the great part of organic materials and painted or oxydised (90% of
standard applications) is equal to 0.95 (pre-set on the instrument). To compensate for possible
imprecise readings, which can result from measurements carried out on metal or shining surfaces,
cover the area to be measured with adhesive tape or opaque black paint and wait until this new
material reaches the same temperature of the object that it is protecting,. At this point, carry out
