What the Heck is (Spectral) Emissivity?

February 10, 2010

Part One of Two from the mind of FLIR It starts: Fill two soda cans with hot water and wrap one with scotch tape. Which one will radiate more heat? You might be surprised at the answer (It has all to do with Spectral Emissivity, although this video continues the illusion that it’s really simple [...]

Electro Optical Industries BB Emissivity Coatings

November 5, 2009

Electro Optical Industries (EOI) uses one of two high emissivity coatings on the surface of its blackbodies. The EOI mid-temperature coating is used on both cavity and flat plate blackbodies that have a maximum operating temperatures of up to 210 °C.

Blackbody Emissivity Primer

October 30, 2009

From the Electro-Optical Industries website: “Effective emissivity is the ratio of the total amount of energy exiting a blackbody to that which is predicted by Planck’s law. This is the value most frequently referred to as “emissivity”. Effective emissivity of a cavity type blackbody will normally be much higher than the surface emissivity due to [...]
