15、ces6.1 Test Method for Measuring the Transmittance of anAttenuating Medium:6.1.1 This test method requires a blackbody simulator withan emissivity of 0.95 or greater that is at least 20C warmerthan ambient temperature. Potential errors can be minimizedby ensuring the stability of the temperature dif

16、ference betweenthe source and the ambient temperature during the test. Also,the transmittance measurement accuracy can be increased byincreasing this temperature difference.6.1.2 Errors can be minimized by ensuring that the tempera-ture of the attenuating medium is as close as possible to thereflect

17、ed temperature incident upon the specimen.6.1.3 The compositions and thicknesses of attenuating me-dia can vary within the same specimen. Errors can be mini-mized by measuring through the same portion of the specimenevery time.6.2 Test Method for Compensating for Unknown ErrorsWhen Measuring the Tem

18、perature of a Specimen With a KnownEmissivity Through an Attenuating Medium Having a KnownTransmittance:6.2.1 Errors can be minimized by ensuring that the tempera-ture of the attenuating medium is as close as possible to thereflected temperature incident upon the specimen.6.3 The transmittance of an

19、 attenuating medium may bespecific to the temperature of the medium and the spectralwaveband of the radiometer used to make the measurement.Therefore, the temperature of the measured specimen and thespectral waveband of the radiometer used should be noted withthe measured transmittance value.6.4 The

20、 use of these test methods to compensate for thetransmittance of an attenuating medium is valid only whenmeasuring the temperatures of specimens that are opaque in thewaveband of the infrared imaging radiometer.7.

Procedure8.1 To measure the transmittance of an attenuating medium,use the following sequential steps:8.1.1 Place the infrared imaging radiometer on the tripod orsupport device at the desired location and distance from theblackbody simulator.8.1.2 Point the infrared

24、imaging radiometer at the black-body simulator and focus on a portion that has an emissivity of0.95 or greater. Make sure that the blackbody simulator is at astable temperature at least 20C above the ambient tempera-ture.8.1.3 Use an appropriate infrared imaging radiometer mea-surement function (suc

25、h as spot temperature, crosshairs orisotherm) to measure and compensate for the reflected tem-perature error incident upon the blackbody simulator.8.1.4 With the imagers computer emittance control still setto 1.00, measure and record the apparent temperature of thissame portion of the blackbody simu

28、vity through an attenuating medium having aknown transmittance, use the following sequential steps.8.2.1 Point the infrared imaging radiometer at the specimenand focus on the portion where the temperature is to bemeasured. Place the attenuating medium having a knowntransmittance between the imagers

29、detector or lens and thespecimen.8.2.2 Instead of 1.00, enter the measured transmittancepercentage of the attenuating medium under the imagersemissivity input (sometime referred to as “emittance” or “E”).Use an appropriate infrared imaging radiometer function (suchas spot temperature, crosshairs or

30、isotherm) to measure andcompensate for the reflected temperature error incident uponthe specimen.8.2.3 Calculate the combined emissivity and transmittancecorrection value by multiplying the known emissivity of thespecimen times the known transmittance of the attenuatingmedium. Record this combined c

32、 under the “emissivity”input.8.3 To measure and compensate for unknown transmittanceand emissivity errors when the specimen temperature isknown, use the following sequential steps. Use an appropriateinfrared imaging radiometer function (such as spot tempera-ture, crosshairs or isotherm) to measure a

Precision and Bias9.1 PrecisionA measure of the precision of these testmethods can be inferred from the results of the replicate testsspecified in 8.1.7, 8.2.4, and 8.3.4.9.2 BiasThe bias cannot be determined by these testmethods because t
