Two test methods are provided for measuring and compensating for this reflected temperature error source,the Reflector Method and the Direct Method.5.2 The

United States15.3 These test methods can be used with any infrared radiometers that have the required computer capabilities.6. Interferences6.1 Reflector Method:6.1.1 This test method uses an infrared refle
14、ctor with an assumed reflectance of 1.00, which is an ideal property. Errors can beminimized by using a reflector having a reflectance as close as possible to 1.00.6.1.2 Specimens vary in that they can be diffuse or spectral reflectors, or both. Use of an infrared reflector with reflectancepropertie
15、s as close as possible to those of the specimen will reduce errors.6.2 Direct Method:6.2.1 The Direct Method usually does not account for the heat from the infrared thermographers body as a source of reflectedtemperature. If this heat source creates a significant error, use the Reflector Method.6.3
16、Reflected temperature errors produced by a point source, such as the sun or a lamp, are difficult to measure accurately. Theseerror sources can often be avoided by moving the infrared imaging radiometers position and angle relative to the specimen.6.4 The measured reflected temperature of a specimen
17、 may be specific to the waveband of the infrared imaging radiometer used.Therefore, the infrared imaging radiometers waveband should be noted with the measured value.6.5 The significance of the error contributed by reflected temperature can be estimated by shielding the specimen from variousangles a
18、nd observing any changes in the thermal image.6.6 The error caused by reflected temperature can be reduced by shielding the specimen from the source of the reflection.7. Apparatus7.1 Calibrated Infrared Imaging Radiometer, with a built-in computer with the capability to measure temperatures with the
19、computers emissivity control set to 1.00.7.2 Tripod, or device to support the infrared imaging radiometer.7.3 Infrared ReflectorThe reflector method also requires an infrared reflector made from a piece of metal whose reflectanceis as close as possible to 1.00. Examples are a crumpled and re-flatten
20、ed piece of aluminum foil placed shiny side up on a pieceof cardboard, or a flat piece of metal with diffuse or spectral reflection characteristics, or both, similar to those of the specimen.8. Procedure8.1 Reflector Method:8.1.1 Set the infrared imaging radiometers emissivity control to 1.00.8.1.2
21、Place the infrared imaging radiometer on the tripod or support device at the desired location and distance from thespecimen.8.1.3 Point the infrared imaging radiometer at the specimen and focus on the portion of the specimen where the reflectedtemperature is to be measured.8.1.4 Place the infrared r
22、eflector in front of, and parallel to, the specimen (see Fig. 1). Maintain a safe working distance fromany heated, electrically energized or otherwise potentially dangerous targets.8.1.5 Without moving the imager and using an appropriate measurement function (such as spot temperature, cross hairs or
23、isotherms), measure and record the apparent surface temperature of the reflector reported by the radiometers computer. This is thereflected temperature of this specimen when viewed from the position indicated in 8.1.2.8.1.6 Repeat 8.1.1 8.1.5 a minimum of three times and average the temperatures to
24、yield an average reflected temperature.8.2 Direct Method:8.2.1 Set the infrared imaging radiometers emissivity control to 1.00.8.2.2 Place the infrared imaging radiometer on the tripod or support device at the desired location and distance from thespecimen.8.2.3 Point the infrared imaging radiometer
25、 at the specimen and focus on the portion where the reflected temperature is to bemeasured.FIG. 1 Reflector MethodE1862 1428.2.4 Estimate or measure the angle of reflection and the angle of incidence when viewing the specimen with the infraredimaging radiometer from this location (see Fig. 2).8.2.5
26、Remove the infrared imaging radiometer from the tripod and position it so that it is pointing away from the specimen andin the same direction as the angle of reflection (see Fig. 3, Line A). Using an appropriate measurement function (such as spottemperature, cross hairs or isotherms), measure and re
27、cord the apparent temperature reported by the radiometers computer. Thisis the reflected temperature of this specimen when viewed from the position indicated in 8.2.2.8.2.6 If the specimen surface is a diffuse reflector, point the radiometer at a variety of locations within 45 of both sides of thean
28、gle of incidence and average the reported temperatures. This average is the reflected temperature of the specimen when viewingthe specimen from the position indicated in 8.2.2.8.2.7 Repeat 8.2.1 8.2.6 a minimum of three times and average the temperatures to yield an average reflected temperature.8.3
29、 Compensate for the reflected temperature by entering the average reflected temperature in the reflected temperature inputof the radiometers computer, commonly referred to as “TAM,” “Ambient Temperature,” “Amb Temp” or “Reflected Background.”9. Precision and Bias9.1 PrecisionAn interlaboratory test
30、program is not practical here because of the nature of the specimens. However, a measureof the precision of the test methods can be inferred from the results of the replicate tests specified in 8.1.6 and 8.2.7.9.2 BiasThese test methods for measuring reflected temperature have no bias because the va
31、lues of reflected temperature aredefined only in terms of the test methods.FIG. 3 Direct MethodFIG. 2 Estimating the Angle of Reflection and IncidenceE1862 14310.
