The radiance temperature shall correspond to the spectral range of the infrared thermometer under test.4.2 The radiation source may be of two types. Ideally, the source will be a c

However, because the field-of-view of some infrared thermometers is larger than typical blackbody cavity apertures, alarge-area flatplate source may be used for these calibrations. In either case, the traceable measurement of the radiance tempe

It includes testset-up and calculation of uncertainties. It is intended to provide the user with a consistent method, while remaining flexi

26、ble in thechoice of calibration equipment. It is understood that the uncertainty obtained depends in large part upon the apparatus and3 The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to a list of references at the end of this standard.E2847 142instrumentation used. Therefore, since this guide is not pres

27、criptive in approach, it provides detailed instruction in uncertaintyevaluation to accommodate the variety of apparatus and instrumentation that may be employed.5.2 This guide is intended primarily for calibrating handheld infrared thermometers. However, the techniques described in thisguide may als

28、o be appropriate for calibrating other classes of radiation thermometers. It may also be of help to those calibratingthermal imagers.5.3 This guide specifies the necessary elements of the report of calibration for an infrared thermometer. The required elementsare intended as a communication tool to

29、help the end user of these instruments make accurate measurements. The elements alsoprovide enough information, so that the results of the calibration can be reproduced in a separate laboratory.6. Sources of Uncertainty6.1 Uncertainties are present in all calibrations. Uncertainties are underestimat

30、ed when their effects are underestimated oromitted. The predominant sources of uncertainty are described in Section 10 and are listed in Table 1 and Table X1.1 of AppendixX1.6.2 Typically, the most prevalent sources of uncertainties in this method of calibration are: (1) emissivity estimation of the

31、calibration source, (2) size-of-source of the infrared thermometer, (3) temperature gradients on the radiation source, (4) improperalignment of the infrared thermometer with respect to the radiation source, (5) calibration temperature of the radiation source, (6)ambient temperature and (7) reflected

32、 temperature. The order of prevalence of these uncertainties may vary, depending on use ofproper procedure and the type of thermal radiation source used. Depending on the temperature of the radiation source, thecalibration method of the radiation source, the optical characteristics of the infrared t

33、hermometer and the detector and filtercharacteristics of the infrared thermometer, the contribution of these uncertainties may change significantly in the overalluncertainty budget.7. Apparatus7.1 Thermal Radiation Source:7.1.1 There are two different classes of thermal radiation sources which can b

34、e used for infrared thermometer calibrations: acavity source and a flatplate source. Some sources may be considered a hybrid of both categories. Each of these sources hasadvantages and disadvantages. The cavity source provides a source of radiation that has a more predictable emissivity. However,the

35、 flatplate source can usually be made less expensively, and can be made with a diameter large enough to calibrate infraredthermometers with low distance to size ratios (D:S).7.1.2 Ideally, the size of the thermal radiation source should be specified by the infrared thermometer manufacturer. In manyc

36、ases, this information may not be available. In these cases a field-of-view test should be completed as discussed in E1256. Theportion of signal incident on the infrared thermometer that does not come from the source should be accounted for in theuncertainty budget.7.1.3 Cavity Source:7.1.3.1 Acavit

37、y source can be constructed in several shapes as shown in Fig. 1. In general, a high length-to-diameter ratio (L:D)or radius-to-diameter ratio (R:D) in the spherical case will result in a smaller uncertainty.Asmaller conical angle will also resultin a smaller uncertainty.7.1.3.2 The location of a re

38、ference or a control probe, or both, and the thermal conductivity of the cavity walls are importantconsiderations in cavity source construction. In general, a reference or control probe should be as close as practical to the centerof the area where the infrared thermometer will typically measure, ty

39、pically the cavity bottom. If there is a separation between thelocation of the reference probe and the cavity surface, cavity walls with a higher thermal conductivity will result in a smalleruncertainty due to temperature gradients in this region.TABLE 1 Components of UncertaintyUncertainty Componen

42、.Apainted or ceramic surface will generally resultin higher emissivity than an oxidized metal surface. By the same measure an oxidized metal surface will generally result in higheremissivity than a non-oxidized metal surface. In some cases, it may be impossible to paint the cavity source surface. Th

43、is isespecially true at high temperatures.7.1.3.4 The effective emissivity of the cavity source shall be calculated to determine the radiance temperature of the cavity.Calculation of effective emissivity is beyond the scope of this standard. Determination of effective emissivity can bemathematically

44、 calculated or modeled.7.1.4 Flatplate Source:7.1.4.1 A flatplate source is a device that consists of a painted circular or rectangular plate. The emissivity is likely to be lesswell defined than with a cavity source.This can be partially overcome by performing a radiometric transfer (see Scheme II

45、in 7.3.7)to the flatplate source. However, the radiometric transfer should be carried out with an instrument operating over a similar spectralband as the infrared thermometer under test.7.1.4.2 A cavity source is the preferred radiometric source for infrared thermometer calibrations. The cavity sour

46、ce has twomain advantages over a flatplate source. First, the cavity source has better defined emissivity and an emissivity much closer to unitydue to its geometric shape. Second, along with the emissvity being closer to unity, the effects of reflected temperature are lessened.Temperature uniformity

47、 on the flatplate source may be more of a concern as well. However, a flatplate source has a main advantageover a cavity source. The temperature controlled flatplate surface can be much larger than a typical cavity source opening, allowingfor much smaller D:S ratios (greater field-of-view).7.2 Apert

48、ure:7.2.1 An additional aperture may not be needed for all calibrations. An aperture is typically used to control scatter. If used, theaperture should be temperature-controlled or reflective. An aperture should be used if recommended by the infrared thermometermanufacturer. If an aperture is used fo

49、r calibration, this information should be stated in the report of calibration. The informationthat shall be included is the aperture distance, the aperture size, and the measuring distance. A possible configuration for apertureuse is shown in Fig. 2.7.2.2 In Fig. 2, dapr is the aperture distance. The measuring distance is shown by dmeas.7.3 Transfer Standard:FIG. 1 Cavity ShapesE2847 1447.3.1 The thermal radiation source shall be calibrated with a transfer standard traceable to a national metrological institute suchas the National Institute of Stan
