Thermographic measurement techniques15
3. Measure the radiation intensity (= apparent temperature) from the reflection source us-
ing the following settings:
• Emissivity: 1.0
• D
obj
: 0
You can measure the radiation intensity using one of the following two methods:
Figure 15.3 1 = Reflection source Figure 15.4 1 = Reflection source
You can not use a thermocouple to measure reflected apparent temperature, because a
thermocouple measures temperature, but apparent temperatrure is radiation intensity.
