4.1MeasurementofInfraredTemperature
All surfaces emit infrared radiation The intensity of this infrared
radiation changes according to the temperature of the object.
Depending on the material and surface properties, the emitted
radiationliesinawavelengthspectrumofapproximately1to20μm.
Theintensityoftheinfraredradiation(”heatradiation”)isdependent
on
the material. For many substances this material‐dependent
constant is known. This constant is referred to as the ”emissivity
value”.
