Frank Liebmann NCSLi 2009 © 2008 Fluke Corporation 8 Wideband IR Thermometers An IR thermometer’s spectral response may not be practical to determine Just determining bandwidth may not be practical A few assumptions may be made –A measurement of the surface’s emissivity –Assuming the bandwidth variation to be an arbitrary number Testing for the validity of these assumptions was tested

Frank Liebmann NCSLi 2009 © 2008 Fluke Corporation 10 Blackbody Emissivity Blackbody = an ideal thermal radiator Emissivity of unity Not achievable Geometric shapes come close (cavity) Cavities are good for calibrations –Not encountered in practical measurements
11
Frank Liebmann NCSLi 2009 © 2008 Fluke Corporation 11 Non Blackbody Surfaces Flat surfaces do not act as blackbodies –ε < 1.00 Gray body has constant emissivity regardless of wavelength –ε(λ) = K

29
Frank Liebmann NCSLi 2009 © 2008 Fluke Corporation 29 Discussion 8-14µm –Mostly within the experimental uncertainties –Within the theoretical differences –∆ε = 1 µm is valid –This uncertainty is not significant compared to the overall uncertainty 5-20µm –close to theory –additional bandwidth variance

31
Frank Liebmann NCSLi 2009 © 2008 Fluke Corporation 31 Conclusion Simple average OK for small differences in bandwidth (spectral response) Considering a 1 µm variance is valid assumption when comparing 8-14 µm instruments Great care must be taken when using 5-20 µm instruments
