Emissivity of Tungsten Definition: The emissivity is a dimensionless coefficient which describes the radiation of an object. It depends on the surface, the temperature and the material.
Measuring emissivity Stationary current: constant temperature Therefore we can calculate the emissivity for different temperatures from our measured data.
