Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method employs a differential thermopileemissometer for total hemispherical emittance measurements.The detector thermopiles are heated in order to prov

The instrument is calibrated usingtwo standards, one with a high emittance and the

21、 other with alow emittance, which are placed on the flat surface of a heatsink (the stage) as shown in Fig. 1. A specimen of the testmaterial is placed on the stage and its emittance is quantified bycomparison to the emittances of the standards. The calibrationshall be checked repeatedly during the

23、ant to note that alow emittance will also change the surface temperature of amaterial. One possible criterion in the selection of thesematerials is the question of the effect of aging on the surfaceemittance.

A singleoperator at the first laboratory made two test determinations oneach specimen on one day. A single operator at a thirdlaboratory made fo

The fact that many of the test determinations were madeover an extended period of time was ignored in this analysis.10.1.2 Additiona

HEMISPHERICAL EMITTANCE MEASUREMENTSX1.1 Because of the application to aging of reflectiveinsulations, there is considerable interest in employing this testmethod for measurements of hemispherical emittan

34、ce. Thisappendix details the pros and cons of using the test method toquantify hemispherical emittance.X1.1.1 This test method is different from either of two othertechniques (Test Method C 835 and Test Method E 408) formeasurement of hemispherical emittance. Instruments for mea-suring hemispherical

35、 emittance typically comprise an enclosedhighly reflective envelope, the only absorbing/emitting sur-faces being the specimen and the detector or flux source, orboth. Alternatively, the specimen is heated, and the total fluxthrough the specimen is measured. The manufacturer of theone instrument know

36、n to conform to this test method intendedfor their instrument to measure the total hemispherical emit-tance, but because of the directional properties of many realsurfaces (especially metals), the property that is measured issomewhere between the hemispherical and normal emittancevalues (3).X1.1.2 N

37、ote that the detector plane is parallel to the plane ofthe specimen in Fig. X1.1. For the instrument of this testmethod, the source of emitted thermal energy is the exposedsurface of the detector itself, and the heat flow is from thedetector surface to the specimen surface. Since the absolutetempera

38、ture of the detector is known and the heat flow ismeasuredand since the instrument is calibrated againststandards of known emittance, at the same temperature as a testspecimenthe emittance of the test specimen can be solvedfrom:V 5 k 3sSTs42 Td4!1/es1 1/ed2 1!D (X1.1)where k is a proportionality con

39、stant.X1.1.3 The arrangement of the detector is such that itsvoltage response is a function of its own diffuse radiation ofheat energy (4), and that the emitted radiation is attenuated bythe energy reflected from the specimen surface over a detectorexposure angle of about 168169 (6 about 84 from nor

40、mal).This is illustrated in Fig. X1.1.X1.1.4 Fig. X1.2(a) shows the directional emittance ofsome smooth metal surfaces, while Fig. X1.2(b) shows asimilar plot for some dielectric materials (5). Note that foraluminum, the emittance is about 0.04 for angles of 0 to about38 from normal. For angles grea

41、ter than 38 from normal, theemittance increases, reaching about 0.14 at an angle of about83 from normal. The average of the integral of this curve (thehemispherical emittance) appears to be about 0.057a differ-ence of almost 42 % from the normal emittance. This highdegree of sensitivity to direction

42、 signifies the existence of alarge specular component to the reflectance of such a surface(there will be some diffuse emittance/reflectance, as well).X1.1.5 For aluminum oxide, the directional emittance isabout 0.82 at the normal angle, rises to a peak of probablyabout 0.83 at 45 from normal, and th

43、en declines to around0.74 at an angle of around 85 from normal. The hemisphericalemittance would appear to be around 0.813a difference fromthe normal emittance of only 2 %. This nearly constantdistribution is a good example of a material which is mainlydiffuse (that is, it obeys Lamberts cosine law)

44、.X1.1.6 Since the detector/heat source plane is all heated andparallel to the specimen plane (and since the specimen tem-perature is uniform) the radiation emitted by the detector willFIG.

45、imarily be normal to the specimen. Because the detectorsurface coating is highly diffuse, however, some of the radia-tion leaving the detector area will reach the unheated wall ofthe emissometer measuring head. Because the inner surface ofthis wall is also dull and diffuse, most of this direct irrad

46、iationfrom the detector will be absorbed by the wall, effecting a biaserror. The calibration process will tend to eliminate this error,as this bias will be the same for both the calibration standardsand the test specimens.X1.1.7 The next step is to consider what happens to theradiant energy that str

47、ikes the specimen surface. The generalradiant energy balance equation illustrates that for any testsurface of emittance less than 1.0, a fraction of the energyradiated from the detector will be reflected from the specimensurface.a1r1t51 (X1.2)where:a = absorptance,r = reflectance, andt = transmittan

X1.2 Directional Emittance of Selected MaterialsC 1371 04a6a1r51 (X1.3)so that only the energy

49、 absorbed by the specimen and theenergy reflected by the specimen need to be considered for afull accounting of the energy emitted by the detector. Further-more, Kirchoffs Radiation Law states that, at thermal equilib-rium:al5el(X1.4)so that the fraction of the radiant energy absorbed by thespecimen (compared to the energy that could be absorbed by ablackbody at the same temperature) is equal to the emittance ofthe specimen at these conditions.X1.1.8 The detector cannot differentiate the amount ofenergy absorbed by the specimen from the total ener
