Basics 4 Basics 4.1 Measurement of Infrared Temperature All surfaces emit infrared radiation The intensity of this infrared radiation changes according to the temperature of the object. Depending on the material and surface properties, the emitted radiation lies in a wavelength spectrum of approximately 1 to 20 μm. The intensity of the infrared radiation (”heat radiation”) is dependent on the material. For many substances this material‐dependent constant is known.

Basics 4.2 Emissivity of Target Object To determine the emissivity of the target object refer to section 12.1 Determination of Emissivity on page 81. If emissivity is low, measured results could be falsified by interfering infrared radiation from background objects (such as heating systems, flames, fireclay bricks, etc. close beside or behind the target object). This type of problem can occur when measuring reflective surfaces and very thin materials such as plastic films and gl
