Summary of Test Methods2.1 At least two different types of instruments are commer-cially available for performing this measurement. One typemeasures radiant energy reflected f

7、rom the specimen (TestMethod A),2and the other type measures radiant energyemitted from the specimen (Test Method B).3A brief descrip-tion of the principles of operation of each test method follows.2.1.1 Test Method AThe theory employed in Test MethodA has been described in detail by Nelson et al4an

8、d therefore isonly briefly reviewed herein. The surface to be measured isplaced against an opening (or aperture) on the portable sensingcomponent. Inside the sensing component are two semi-cylindrical cavities that are maintained at different tempera-tures, one at near ambient and the other at a sli

9、ghtly elevatedtemperature. A suitable drive mechanism is employed to rotatethe cavities alternately across the aperture. As the cavitiesrotate past the specimen aperture, the specimen is alternatelyirradiated with infrared radiation from the two cavities. Thecavity radiation reflected from the speci

10、men is detected with avacuum thermocouple. The vacuum thermocouple views thespecimen at near normal incidence through an optical systemthat transmits radiation through slits in the ends of the cavities.The thermocouple receives both radiation emitted from thespecimen and other surfaces, and cavity r

11、adiation which isreflected from the specimen. Only the reflected energy varieswith this alternate irradiation by the two rotating cavities, andthe detection-amplifying system is made to respond only to thealternating signal. This is accomplished by rotating the cavitiesat the frequency to which the

12、amplifier is tuned. Rectifyingcontacts coupled to this rotation convert the amplifier output toa d-c signal, and this signal is read with a millivoltmeter. Themeter reading must be suitably calibrated with known reflec-tance standards to obtain reflectance values on the test surface.The resulting da

13、ta can be converted to total normal emittanceby subtracting the measured reflectance from unity.2.1.2 Test Method BThe theory of operation of TestMethod B has been described in detail by Gaumer et al5and isbriefly reviewed as follows: The surface to be measured isplaced against the aperture on the p

14、ortable sensing component.Radiant energy which is emitted and reflected from thespecimen passes through a suitable transmitting vacuum win-dow and illuminates a thermopile.

18、and the cavity walls which the specimen views. Theoutput of the thermopile is amplified and sensed by a suitablemeter. The meter reading must be calibrated with standards ofknown emittance.3. Limitations3.1 Both test methods are limited in accuracy by the degreeto which the emittance properties of c

19、alibrating standards areknown and by the angular emittance characteristics of thesurfaces being measured.3.2 Test Method A is normally subject to a small errorcaused by the difference in wavelength distributions betweenthe radiant energy emitted by the two cavities at differenttemperatures, and that

20、 emitted by a blackbody at the specimentemperature. Test Method B also has nongray errors since thedetector is not at absolute zero temperature. The magnitude ofthis type of error is discussed by Nelson et al.43.3 Test Method A is subject to small errors that may beintroduced if the orientation of t

21、he sensing component ischanged between calibration and specimen measurements.This type of error results from minor changes in alignment ofthe optical system.3.4 Test Method A is subject to error when curved specularsurfaces of less than about 300-mm radius are measured. Theseerrors can be minimized

22、by using calibrating standards thathave the same radius of curvature as the test surface.3.5 Test Method A can measure reflectance on specimensthat are either opaque or semi-transparent in the wavelengthregion of interest (about 4 to 50 m). However, if emittance isto be derived from the reflectance

23、data on a semi-transparentspecimen, a correction must be made for transmittance losses.3.6 Test Method B is subject to several possible significanterrors. These may be due to (1) variation of the test surfacetemperature during measurements, (2) differences in tempera-ture between the calibrating sta

24、ndards and the test surfaces, (3)changes in orientation of the sensing component betweencalibration and measurement, (4) errors due to irradiation ofthe specimen with thermal radiation by the sensing component,and (5) errors due to specimen curvature. Variations in testsurface temperature severely l

25、imit accuracy when specimensthat are thin or have low thermal conductivity are beingmeasured. Great care must be taken to maintain the sametemperature on the test surface and calibrating standards. Meterreadings are directly proportional to the radiant flux emitted bythe test surface, which in turn

26、is proportional to the fourthpower of temperature. Changes in orientation of the sensingcomponent between calibration and test measurement intro-duces errors due to temperature changes of the thermopile. Therelatively poor vaccuum around the thermopile results invariations in convection heat transfe

27、r coefficients which areaffected by orientation.3.7 Test Method B is limited to emittance measurements onspecimens that are opaque to infrared radiation in the wave-length region of interest (about 4 to 50 m).3.8 The emittance measured by Test Method B is anintermediate value between total-normal an

28、d total-hemispherical emittance because of the relationship betweenthe thermocouple sensing elements and the test surface. Theclose proximity of the thermopile to the relatively large testsurface allows it to receive radiation emitted over a significantangle (up to 80). This error (the difference be

29、tween total-normal and total-hemispherical) emittance can be as large as10 % on certain types of specimens (such as specular metalsurfaces).4. Procedure4.1 Calibration procedures for both test methods of mea-surement are jointly discussed because of their similarity. InTest Method A infrared reflect

30、ance properties of calibratingstandards must be known, and for Test Method B emittancevalues of standards are utilized. Following an appropriatewarm-up time, calibrate the readout meter. Adjust the meter togive the correct reading when measuring both high and lowemittance (or reflectance) standards.

31、 Repeat calibration of themeter several times at short time intervals until the correctreadings can be obtained near each end of the scale. Typicalhigh and low emittance (low and high reflectance) standardsmay consist of black paint (or preferably a blackbody cavity)and polished high-purity aluminum

32、, respectively. Measure thethermal radiation properties of the standards independentlywith an absolute instrument, and maintain the standards in aclean condition thereafter.4.2 In Test Method B care must be taken to prevent strayradiant energy from entering the sensor. This can occur if thetest surf

33、ace is not sufficiently flat or is not opaque.4.3 In Test Method B the test surfaces and calibratingstandards must be maintained at the same temperature. If thin(less than about 0.7 mm thick) conducting specimens are to bemeasured, they should be bonded to a thick metallic substrate.Specimen tempera

34、ture changes can be noted by observingwhether the indicated meter reading drifts with time.4.4 In Test Method B the orientation of the sensor must bethe same for both calibration and test surface measurements.4.5 After the meter has been properly calibrated, place thetest surface over the aperture o

35、f the measuring instrument. Theresulting meter reading of Test Method A is then the infraredreflectance for blackbody radiant energy at near room tempera-ture, or in Test Method B, a meter reading that can beconverted to emittance using the manufacturers emittance/meter reading conversion data. In T

36、est Method A, obtain theemittance by subtracting the reflectance from unity. It isrecommended that the instrument be recalibrated as soon aspossible after measuring the test surface. If the meter calibra-tion has changed, repeat the entire calibration and readoutprocedure. It is recommended that at

37、least three readings betaken for each test specimen, and the results averaged, tominimize statistical errors. It is also recommended that bothlaboratory and working emittance (or reflectance) standards bemaintained, and that they be kept clean.5. Report5.1 Report the following information:5.1.1 Name
