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
