6.3Degree of emission
Materials have different degrees of emission, i.e. they produce different quantities of electromagnetic radiation. The degree of emission of the testo 845 is set
at 0.95 ex-works. This is optimal for measurements of non-metals, plastics and
food (paper, ceramics, plaster, wood, paints and lacquers).
Because of their low or inconsistent degrees of emission, bright metals and
metal oxides have only limited suitability for IR measurements.
Apply emission-enhancing coatings such as paint or emission adhesive tape
(Order No. 0554 0051) to the object to be measured. If this is not possible,
measure with a contact thermometer.
Degree of emission table for important materials (typical values)
