Summary of Test Method4.1 Two test methods are given for measuring the emissivityof a specimen surface, the contact thermometer method and thenon-contact thermometer method.4.2 A test
7、method is also given for compensating for theerror produced by emissivity using the computer built into aninfrared imaging radiometer.5. Significance and Use5.1 The emissivity of a specimen can cause surface tem-perature measurement errors. Two test methods are providedfor measuring and compensating
8、 for this error source.5.2 These test methods can be used in the field or laboratory,using commonly available materials.5.3 These test methods can be used with any infraredradiometers that have the required computer capabilities.6.

10、ea that satisfies themeasurement accuracy requirements of the radiometer andinfrared thermographer.6.2.2 Before the surface-modifying material is applied to anarea of the specimen adjacent to the area where the emissivityis to be measured (as directed in 8.2.4), errors can beminimized by viewing the
11、 imager display to ensure that bothareas have the same temperature.6.2.3 When removing a surface-modifying material, as di-rected in 8.2.7, errors can be minimized by ensuring that thesurface is returned to its original condition.6.3 Both test methods require the specimen to be at atemperature that
12、is at least 10C warmer or cooler than theambient temperature. Potential errors can be minimized byensuring the stability of the temperature difference between thespecimen and the ambient temperature during the test.Also, the1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E07 onNonde

21、the specimen and in the same spectralwaveband of the infrared imaging radiometer.NOTE 1For best results, the surface modifying material should have ahigh emissivity, preferably 0.9 or greater.8. Procedure8.1 Contact Thermometer Method:8.1.1 Place the infrared imaging radiometer on the tripod orsuppo

23、orisotherm) to measure and compensate for the reflected tem-perature error incident upon the specimen.NOTE 2Such measurements are generally more accurate when themeasurement is averaged over a small region of the image. Use of anaverage temperature box or a narrow band isotherm will produce morerepr

Record thistemperature.8.1.5 Without moving the imager, adjust its computersemissivity control until the imagers computer indicates thesame tempe

The indicated emissivityvalue is the measured emissivity of the specimen, at thistemperature and spectral waveband.8.1.6 Repeat procedures 8.1.1 through 8.1.5 a minimum ofthree times and average the emissivity values to yield anaverage emissivity.8.2 Noncontact Thermometer

27、radiometer mea-surement function (such as spot temperature, crosshairs, orisotherm) to measure and compensate for the reflected tem-perature error incident upon the specimen.8.2.4 Apply the surface-modifying material to, or immedi-ately adjacent to, the portion of the specimen where theemissivity is
28、 to be measured. Make sure the surface-modifyingmaterial is dry and in good contact with the specimen.8.2.5 Enter the known emissivity value of the surface-modifying material in the radiometers computer under theemissivity input (sometimes referred to as emittance or E).8.2.6 Use the radiometer to m

Precision and Bias9.1 PrecisionAn interlaboratory test program is not prac-tical here because of the nature of the test specimens. However,a measure of the precision of the methods can be inferred fromthe results of the replicate
33、tests specified in 8.1.6 and 8.2.8.9.2 BiasThese test methods for measuring emissivityhave no bias because the values of emissivity are defined onlyin terms of the test methods.10.
