TECHNOLOGY
While the non contact infrared thermometers have been used for many years in industrial applications, the measurement of temperature utilizing this technology has been restricted due to inherent weaknesses. The greatest deficiency is quite fundamental; infrared pyrometers measure radiance received from a target; i.e., one variable, while use of Plancks radiation law governing the relationship between the radiance and temperature requires
knowledge of a second variable, the target surface emissivity. Emissivity varies with surface condition, temperature, wavelength and time.
The Pyrofiber® E10 solves this problem by measuring the target emissivity. When coupled to the Pyrofiber® II infrared thermometer at the same wavelength, this emissivity can be used to calculate the precise Emissivity Corrected Temperature (Te). Emissivity Measurement The Pyrofiber® E10 uses a patented laser based infrared technology to measure the target spectral reflectivity over a narrow band. The laser energy is directed to an opaque target. The returning energy from the laser is used to measure the diffuse reflection from the target. This reflectivity measurement is used to determine the target emissivity. The Pyrofiber® E10 will also eliminate any radiation from hot targets.
