16、he 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 20 C warmerthan ambient temperature. Potential errors can be minimizedby ensuring the stability of the temperature difference betweenthe source and the

17、 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 thereflected temperature incident upon the

18、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 Temperature of a Specimen With a Kno

21、pensate 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. Apparatus7.1 A calibrated infrared imaging radiometer with a built-incomputer that allows the infrared thermographer to

22、 inputreflected temperatures and emissivity values.7.2 The test method for measuring the transmittance of anattenuating medium requires a tripod or device to support theinfrared imaging radiometer.7.3 The test method for measuring the transmittance of anattenuating medium requires a high-emissivity

23、source that isheated to a stable temperature at least 20 C above ambienttemperature.7.4 The test method for measuring and compensating forunknown transmittance and emissivity errors when the speci-men temperature is known requires a calibrated thermometer tomeasure the temperature of the specimen.8.

24、 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 imaging radiometer at the black-

25、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 20 C above the ambient tempera-ture.8.1.3 Use an appropriate infrared imaging radiometer mea-surement function (such as spot temperature, crosshai

26、rs 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 simulator.8.1.5 Position the attenu

27、ating medium between the imagersdetector or lens and the blackbody simulator.8.1.6 Without moving the imager, adjust its computersemissivity control until the imagers computer indicates thesame temperature recorded in 8.1.4. The indicated “emissivity”value is the transmittance of the attenuating med

28、ium, at thisblackbody simulator temperature and radiometers spectralwaveband.8.1.7 Repeat 8.1.1 through 8.1.6 a minimum of three timesand average the transmittance values to yield an averagetransmittance.8.2 To measure the temperature of a specimen having aknown emissivity through an attenuating med

29、ium 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 detector or lens and thespecime

30、n.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 isotherm) to measure andcompens

31、ate 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 correction value.8.2.4 Repeat 8.

32、2.1 through 8.2.3 a minimum of three timesand average the values to yield an average combined correctionvalue.8.2.5 Compensate for emissivity and transmittance errors byentering the combined correction value recorded in 8.2.3 in theinfrared radiometric imagers computer under the “emissivity”input.8.

33、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 and compensate for thereflected

34、temperature error incident upon the specimen.E1897 97 (2010)28.3.1 Point the imager at the specimen and the portion of thespecimen having an unknown emissivity. Place the attenuatingmedium(s) with an unknown transmittance(s) between theimagers detector or lens and the specimen.8.3.2 With another the

35、rmometer, measure and record thetemperature of the portion of the specimen delineated with theinfrared imaging radiometers measurement function.8.3.3 With the imager still focused on the same portion ofthe specimen, adjust the imagers computer emissivity controluntil the indicated temperature is the

36、 same as the temperaturejust recorded in 8.3.2. Record this “emissivity” value which isthe combined correction value for errors produced by thetransmittance of the attenuating medium and the emissivity ofthe specimen, at this medium temperature and radiometersspectral waveband.8.3.4 Repeat 8.3.1 thr

37、ough 8.3.3 a minimum of three timesand average the emissivity values to yield an average combinedcorrection value.8.3.5 Enter this average combined correction value in theimager computer under the emissivity input to compensate forerrors produced by this attenuating medium when measuring aspecimen w

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 the values of transmittance are def
