How Emissivity Can Impact Temperature Measurement with an Infrared Camera

In this video, we discuss how emissivity affects temperature measurements with infrared cameras.

Understanding emissivity and its impact on temperature measurements is crucial for obtaining accurate temperature readings with infrared cameras, which is essential in various fields such as manufacturing, automotive, and medical industries.

I’ve just had a young worker burn his wrist on a vacuum pump discharge line (shiny steel pipe bend) which read 47C. Touch probe read 77C. I think we don’t measure properly because of the emissivity being way less than 1, as per this excellent explanation by the author. My sincere thanks.

best explanation I can find on youtube right now. thank you for the video!

Mistake at 1:14 .

Love your lessons

Very good science, can you speed up the next video?

[sidegigs]

Could you elaborate on the caluclation at 3:39? If the target reflects 25% of the nearby fire @ 500, would not the temperature be more than 80? Or am I missing something?

Thanks for your video, it the best explanation I've seen! But I found a mistaken display at 01:15, ε should be <1😆

Great explanation, I try to find the next video but i didn't find. I would like to know how to determine the emissivity of the target.

Will the IR flashlight interfere with the IR camera?

[nelomedia]

What would be the optimal distance of the camera to said target in relation to FOV?

What data from the infrared image can help to find pixel-wise tem, temperature values ?.
