4.1MeasurementofInfraredTemperature

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

radiationliesina wavelengthspectrumofapproximately1to20μm.

Theintensityoftheinfraredradiation(”heatradiation”)isdependent

on

 the material. For many substances this material‐dependent

constant is known. This constant is referred to as the ”emissivity

value”.

Infrared thermometers are optical‐electronic sensors. These sensors

are sensitive to the emitted radiation. Infrared thermometers are

madeupofalens,aspectralfilter,asensor,andanelectronic

signal

processing unit. The task of the spectral filter  is to select the

wavelength spectrum of interest. The sensor converts the infrared

radiation into an electrical signal. The signal processing electronics

analyze the electrical signals and co nvert it into a  temperature

measurement. As the intensity of the emitted infrared radiation is



dependentonthematerial,therequiredemissivitycanbeselectedon

thesensor.

The biggest advantage of the infrared thermometer is its ability to

measure temperature withou t touching an object. Consequently,

surfacetemperaturesofmovingorhardtoreachobjectscaneasilybe

measured.

4.2EmissivityofTargetObject

Todeterminetheemissivityof thetarget objectrefertosection12.1

Determination of Emissivity on page  81. If emissivity is low,

measured results could be falsified by interferinginfraredradiation

from background objects (such as heating systems, flames, fireclay

bricks, etc. close beside  or behind the target object). This type of 

problemcanoccurwhenmeasuringreflectivesurfacesandverythin

materialssuchasplastic

filmsandglass.

Thismeasurement error can be reduced to a minimum if particular

care is taken during installation, and the sensing head is shielded

fromthesereflectingradiationsources.

4.3AmbientTemperature

The sensing head was developed for the following ambient

temperatureranges:

• MIH:0to180°C(32to356°F)

• MIC: 0to125°C(32to257°F)

• MID:0to85°C(32to185°F)

The MID can operate in ambient temperatures up to 200°C (392°F)

withtheair‐coolingaccessory.

4.4AtmosphericQuality

If the lens gets dirty, infrared energy will be blocked and the

instrumentwillnotmeasureaccurately.Itisgoodpracticetoalways

keep the lens clean. The Air Purge Jacket helps keep contaminants

from building up on the lens. If  you use air purging, make sure a

filtered air supply

 with clean dry air at the correct air pressure is
