A brief explanation of thermography
Thermography is atechnology used to measure and visualise theinfrared
radiation emitted by different objects. This infrared imaging camera registers heat
reflection, transmission and emissions.
Reflection can produce inaccurate measurements because smooth surfaces
that reflect radiation give incorrect temperature readings. Remember that heat
and cold can be reflected, which can distort thereading.
Transmission is theability of amaterial to allow infrared radiation to pass
through it. Most materials, such as glass, plastic etc., do not allow infrared
radiation to penetrate. This means that their transmissivity is almost zero and can
therefore in principle be ignored.

English
Emission is ameasurement of how effectively amaterial emits infrared radiation.
The emissivity varies depending on the material and surface, and if this is not
taken into account, measurements can give incorrect temperature values.
The emission factor εcompensates for this by multiplying theradiation reading
by afactor to allow for theemissivity of thematerial in question. See theSettings
– Settings/Measurements/Emissivity section for information on how to adjust
theemission factor.
List of materials and their emissivity* (theability of thesurface to emit radiation).

Lite kort om termografi
Termografi är enteknik som används för att mäta och visualisera infraröd
strålning som avges från olika objekt. Den IR-strålning värmekameran registrerar
består av reflektion, transmission och emission.
Reflektion kan påverka mätningar genom att blanka ytor som reflekterar
strålning ger enfelaktig uppmätt temperatur. Tänk på att både värme och kyla
kan reflekteras vilket kan störa mätningen.
Transmission är förmågan hos ettmaterial att låta IR-strålning passera igenom
det. De flesta material släpper iprincip inte igenom någon IR-strålning alls (glas,
plast etc) vilket innebär att transmissiviteten nästan är noll och därför också
iprincip kan ignoreras.

17
Svenska
Emission är ettmått på hur effektivt ettmaterial avger infraröd strålning.
Emissiviteten varierar beroende på material och yta och om man inte tar hänsyn
till det kan mätningar ge felaktiga temperaturvärden.
Emissionsfaktorn εkompenserar för detta genom att multiplicera den uppmätta
strålningen med enfaktor som tar hänsyn till emissiviteten hos det aktuella
materialet. Se avsnitt Inställningar - Settings/Measurements/Emissivity för att
justera emissionsfaktorn.
