Introduction to Infrared Pyrometers Why should I use an infrared pyrometer to measure Emissivity (ε), a major but not uncontrollable factor in IR temperature in my application? temperature measurement, cannot be ignored. Related to Infrared pyrometers allow users to measure temperature in emissivity are reflectivity (R), a measure of an object’s ability applications where conventional sensors cannot be employed. to reflect infrared energy, and transmissivity (T), a measure of Specifically, in cases dealing with moving objects (i.e., rollers, an object’s ability to pass or transmit IR energy. All radiation moving machinery, or a conveyer belt), or where non-contact energy must be either emitted (E) due to the temperature of measurements are required because of contamination or the body, transmitted (T) or reflected (R). The total energy, the hazardous reasons (such as high voltage), where distances sum of emissivity, transmissivity and reflectivity is equal to 1: are too great, or where the temperatures to be measured are E + T + R = 1.0 too high for thermocouples or other contact sensors. What should I consider about my application when selecting an infrared pyrometer? The critical considerations for any infrared pyrometer include R field of view (target size and distance), type of surface being measured (emissivity considerations), spectral response (for atmospheric effects or transmission through surfaces), E Hot temperature range and mounting (handheld portable or Source fixed mount). Other considerations include response time,
