What is Emissivity? Does emissivity change with temperature? In order to answer this question, first we must understand emissivity. Emissivity is the ratio of the energy radiated from a materials surface to that radiated from a perfect emitter. A blackbody is an...

What is Emissivity? Not all surfaces are the same. Depending on what you’re pointing your infrared temperature sensor at you’re likely to get variations in emitted infrared energy. This variation is called emissivity. Emissivity is a measure of a material’s ability to...

Whenever we sell a pyrometer to an aluminum mill we start the conversation by telling the customer that the two of us are having an argument, but that we just don’t realize it yet. We then go on to tell them that the way to resolve this argument is to seek the truth....
