EMISSIVITY CHART
EMISSIVITY
• Emissivity describes the energy-emitting characteristics of materials.
• A built-in IR sensor head detects the material/surface-specic infrared rays emitted by every object.
The level of emissivity is determined by the material‘s emissivity value (0.01 to 0.99).
This device is preset to an emissivity value of 0.95, which is applicable to most organic materials as
well as plastics, ceramics, wood, rubber and stone. For details of those materials with a different
emissivity value please refer to the table.
UNKNOWN EMISSIVITY VALUE
Apply masking tape or black matt paint to the surface of the area whose temperature you wish to
measure.
Wait until the tape/paint has heated up. The temperature of the surface can then be measured with an
emissivity value of 0.95.
