Applications
• Verify mechanical (bearings, motors) or electrical (circuit breaker boxes)
equipment
• Calibration and control of heater and oven temperatures

Appendix: Emissivity Chart
Emissivity is a term used to describe the energy-emitting characteristics
of materials. Most (90% of typical applications) organic materials and
painted or oxidized surfaces have an emissivity of 0.95.
Inaccurate readings will result from measuring shiny or polished metal
surfaces. To compensate, cover the surface to be measured with masking
tape or at black paint. Allow time for the tape to reach the same
temperature as the material underneath it. Measure the temperature of the
tape or painted surface.
