The emissivity of the product can be adjusted from 0.01 to 1.00 with the
default value of 0.95. Many common objects & materials (such as timber,
water, skin & textile fabric) can reflect the heat energy effectively. So it is easy
to obtain relatively correct measurement values.
The emissivity of a course surface is usually set as 0.95. For semi-matte surfaces
that give out less energy, the emissivity is usually about 0.85 & the emissivity
of semi-gloss surfaces is 0.6. Shiny surfaces are divided into materials with
low radiation coefficient. The emissivity is usually set as 0.3 at the time of
measurement.
Setting the correct value of emissivity is very important for accurate
temperature measurement.
The surface emissivity will impact the surface temperature measured by
the product. Understanding the surface emissivity will enable you to obtain
correct the temperature measurement.
The product has four types of surface measurement modes:
• Coarse surface (0.95)
• Semi-matte surface (0.85)
• Semi-shiny surface (0.60)
• Shiny surface (0.30)
Depending on the characteristics of the measured surfaces, users may set the
emissivity value through the “self-define” option (please refer to the table of
“emissivity of common materials”).
