| Measuring exact temperatures with different emmissivities on IR sensor and Heat Source |

| How can we measure exact temp while scanner emmissivity is set at 0.95 and the heat source emmissivity is 0.99. Can anybody help? |

Try this to get an approximate correct temperature reading.
Correct temperature reading = (Incorrect reading – Treflected)* (0.95/0.99) + Treflected
Where:
Correct temperature reading is your desired true temperature with emissivity at 0.99
Incorrect reading is the reading you get with emissivity set at 0.95
Treflect is the reflected apparent temperature of the surroundings that has been set in the instrument

Thanks for the reply.
There's no setting for Treflected in the temp. controller. Should just subtract the ambient temp.?
Also, do you know if the results would be within a certain percentage of being accurate? |

Uzair,
my estimation is in the added picture.
The assumed conditions are also in the picture.
Your temp. indication is too high, but that's what you've found out already, I assume.
Success.

Yes, try subtracting the ambient temperature then.

In my calculation I assumed an environment temperature of 20o C. You can see it because the line e=1 crosses the 0-deviation when the object temperature is also 20o C. The wavelength of the pyrometer (or camera/scanner) is assumed to be long wave ic. 10 micron.
