Summary of Practice4.1 The practice consists of comparing the readout tempera-ture of an infrared thermometer to the radiance temperature ofa radiation source. The radiance temperature shall correspondto the spectral range of the infrared thermometer under te

21、st.4.2 The radiation source may be of two types. Ideally, thesource will be a cavity source having an emissivity close tounity (1.00). However, because the field-of-view of someinfrared thermometers is larger than typical blackbody cavityapertures, a large-area flatplate source may be used for these

22、calibrations. In either case, the traceable measurement of theradiance temperature of the source shall be known, along withcalculated uncertainties.4.3 The radiance temperature of the source shall be trace-able to a national metrology institute such as the NationalInstitute of Standards and Technolo

Significance and Use5.1 This guide provides guidelines and basic test methodsfor the accuracy verification of infrared thermometers. Itincludes test set-up and calculation of uncertainties. It isin

24、tended to provide the user with a consistent method, whileremaining flexible in the choice of calibration equipment. It isunderstood that the uncertainty obtained depends in large partupon the apparatus and instrumentation used. Therefore, sincethis guide is not prescriptive in approach, it provides

25、 detailedinstruction in uncertainty evaluation to accommodate thevariety of apparatus and instrumentation that may be em-ployed.5.2 This guide is intended primarily for calibrating handheldinfrared thermometers. However, the techniques described inthis guide may also be appropriate for calibrating o

26、ther classesof radiation thermometers. It may also be of help to thosecalibrating thermal imagers.5.3 This guide specifies the necessary elements of the reportof calibration for an infrared thermometer. The requiredelements are intended as a communication tool to help the enduser of these instrument

27、s make accurate measurements. Theelements also provide enough information, so that the results ofthe calibration can be reproduced in a separate laboratory.6. Sources of Uncertainty6.1 Uncertainties are present in all calibrations. Uncertain-ties are underestimated when their effects are underestima

28、tedor omitted. The predominant sources of uncertainty are de-scribed in Section 10 and are listed in Table 1 and Table X1.1of Appendix X1.6.2 Typically, the most prevalent sources of uncertainties inthis method of calibration are: (1) emissivity estimation of thecalibration source, (2) size-of-sourc

29、e of the infraredthermometer, (3) temperature gradients on the radiation source,(4) improper alignment of the infrared thermometer withrespect to the radiation source, (5) calibration temperature ofthe radiation source, (6) ambient temperature and (7) reflectedtemperature. The order of prevalence of

30、 these uncertaintiesmay vary, depending on use of proper procedure and the typeof thermal radiation source used.

Apparatus7.1 Thermal Radiation Source:7.1.1 There are two different classes of thermal radiationsou

34、rces which can be used for infrared thermometer calibra-tions: a cavity source and a flatplate source. Some sources maybe considered a hybrid of both categories. Each of thesesources has advantages and disadvantages. The cavity sourceprovides a source of radiation that has a more predictableemissivi

35、ty. However, the flatplate source can usually be madeless expensively, and can be made with a diameter largeenough to calibrate infrared thermometers with low distance tosize ratios (D:S).7.1.2 Ideally, the size of the thermal radiation source shouldbe specified by the infrared thermometer manufactu

36、rer. Inmany cases, this information may not be available. In thesecases a field-of-view test should be completed as discussed inE1256. The portion of signal incident on the infrared thermom-eter that does not come from the source should be accountedfor in the uncertainty budget.7.1.3 Cavity Source:7

37、.1.3.1 A cavity source can be constructed in several shapesas shown in Fig. 1. In general, a high length-to-diameter ratio(L:D) or radius-to-diameter ratio (R:D) in the spherical casewill result in a smaller uncertainty. A smaller conical angle will also result in a smaller uncertainty.7.1.3.2 The l

38、ocation of a reference or a control probe, orboth, and the thermal conductivity of the cavity walls areimportant considerations in cavity source construction. Ingeneral, a reference or control probe should be as close aspractical to the center of the area where the infrared thermom-eter will typical

39、ly measure, typically the cavity bottom. If thereis a separation between the location of the reference probe andthe cavity surface, cavity walls with a higher thermal conduc-tivity will result in a smaller uncertainty due to temperaturegradients in this region.7.1.3.3 The walls of the cavity source

40、can be treated inseveral different ways. A painted or ceramic surface willgenerally result in higher emissivity than an oxidized metalsurface. By the same measure an oxidized metal surface willgenerally result in higher emissivity than a non-oxidized metalsurface. In some cases, it may be impossible

41、 to paint the cavitysource surface. This is especially true at high temperatures.7.1.3.4 The effective emissivity of the cavity source shall becalculated to determine the radiance temperature of the cavity.Calculation of effective emissivity is beyond the scope of thisstandard. Determination of effe

42、ctive emissivity can be math-ematically calculated or modeled.7.1.4 Flatplate Source:FIG. 1 Cavity ShapesE2847 13137.1.4.1 A flatplate source is a device that consists of apainted circular or rectangular plate. The emissivity is likely tobe less well defined than with a cavity source. This can bepar

43、tially overcome by performing a radiometric transfer (seeScheme II in 7.3.7) to the flatplate source. However, theradiometric transfer should be carried out with an instrumentoperating over a similar spectral band as the infrared thermom-eter under test.7.1.4.2 A cavity source is the preferred radio

44、metric sourcefor infrared thermometer calibrations. The cavity source hastwo main advantages over a flatplate source. First, the cavitysource has better defined emissivity and an emissivity muchcloser to unity due to its geometric shape. Second, along withthe emissvity being closer to unity, the eff

45、ects of reflectedtemperature are lessened. Temperature uniformity on the flat-plate source may be more of a concern as well. However, aflatplate source has a main advantage over a cavity source. Thetemperature controlled flatplate surface can be much largerthan a typical cavity source opening, allow

46、ing for muchsmaller D:S ratios (greater field-of-view).7.2 Aperture:7.2.1 An additional aperture may not be needed for allcalibrations. An aperture is typically used to control scatter. Ifused, the aperture should be temperature-controlled or reflec-tive. An aperture should be used if recommended by

47、 theinfrared thermometer manufacturer. If an aperture is used forcalibration, this information should be stated in the report ofcalibration. The information that shall be included is theaperture distance, the aperture size, and the measuring dis-tance.Apossible configuration for aperture use is show

48、n in Fig.2.7.2.2 In Fig. 2,dapris the aperture distance. The measuringdistance is shown by dmeas.7.3 Transfer Standard:7.3.1 The thermal radiation source shall be calibrated with atransfer standard traceable to a national metrological institutesuch as the National Institute of Standards and Technolo

49、gy(NIST) or National Research Council (NRC). If a referencethermometer (radiometric or contact) is used during the cali-bration of the unit-under-test, this serves as the calibration ofthe radiation source. In this case, the reference thermometershall have a calibration traceable to a national metrologicalinstitute.7.3.2 This calibration of the thermal radiation source maytake place in the calibration laboratory, or it may be done by athird party calibration laboratory. The interval of these checksis determined by the calibration laboratory. The drift r
