asic Infrared !adiometr/he thermal imager measures the temperature o# target materials !y measuring theamount o# in#rared energy radiating #rom the targetNs sur#ace.

/his energy may !e emitted directly #rom the target into the thermal imager. /heenergy o# other o!Mects may !e re#lected o## the sur#ace o# the target and into thethermal imager. In the case o# translucent materials some o# the energy may !etransmitted through the target to the camera. /he thermal imager ‖sees‖ energy #romall three o# these sources and produces a corresponding temperature measurementthat may or may not re#lect the true temperature o# the target o!Mect.

In order to o!tain accurate temperature readings> the thermal imager measurement#or re#lected energy> that is> the energy not emanating directly #rom the target o!Mect>must !e corrected. Since most materials o# interest in maintenance and !uildingrelated applications are opaque to in#rared radiation> the transmitted energy can !eignored. /hus> we hae to deal only with the directly emitted and re#lected radiationwhen measuring temperatures.

In order to understand how we correct #or a materialNs characteristics to get accuratetemperature measurements> you need to !e #amiliar with a material property calledemissivity . ,ll materials can !e compared to an ideal o!Mect called a black body . , !lac!ody does not re#lect or transmit any energy. ,ll energy that reaches the thermalimager #rom a per#ect !lac !ody is directly emittedD there#ore> the thermal imager willread the true temperature o# the !lac !ody.

!acground.I# the !acground temperature is less than that o# the o!Mect> the thermal imager showsthat the o!Mect is cooler than it really is !ecause the thermal imager sees less radiationthan it sees #rom the !lac !ody. In order to get an accurate reading o# the targeto!Mect> the thermal imager must correct its measurement !ased on the emissiity o# thetarget o!Mect and !acground temperature !eing re#lected o## o# the target. %our thermalimager and SmartView so#tware allow you to speci#y the emissiity o# the targetand !acground temperature in order to get a more accurate temperature reading.

4or most common applications> you do not need to now the e5act temperature o# ano!Mect> !ut rather that it is warmer or cooler than neigh!oring o!Mects. 4or thesegeneral applications> we recommend you set the emissiity o# your thermal imager to9.-$ and set the !acground temperature to room temperature.

4or applications that require precise temperature measurements> or where targetmaterials hae ery low emissiity alues> you need to correct the target emissiityand !acground temperature measurements. %ou can #ind the appropriate alues inthe : m iss i ity Va lu e s ta! le> or you can measure them using your camera.
