3、eriousproblem in the evaluation and use of thermal emittance data for such materials. Ceramic materials ingeneral tend to be somewhat translucent, and hence emit and absorb thermal radiant energy within asurface layer of appreciable thickness. Ceramic materials in general also tend to have low therm

4、alconductivity and high total emittance as compared to metals. These properties combine to producethermal gradients within a heated specimen unless careful precautions are taken to minimize suchgradients by minimizing heat flow in the specimen. The gradients tend to be normal to a surface thatis emi

5、tting or absorbing radiant energy. As a further complication, the gradients tend to be nonlinearnear such a surface.When a specimen is emitting from a surface layer of appreciable thickness with a thermal gradientnormal to the surface, it has no unique temperature, and it is difficult to define an e

6、ffective temperaturefor the emitting layer. Emittance is defined as the ratio of the flux emitted by a specimen to that emittedby a blackbody radiator at the same temperature and under the same conditions. It is thus necessaryto define an effective temperature for the nonisothermal specimen before i

7、ts emittance can beevaluated. If the effective temperature is defined as that of the surface, a specimen with a positivethermal gradient (surface cooler than interior) will emit at a greater rate than an isothermal specimenat the same temperature, and in some cases may have an emittance greater than

8、 1.0. If the thermalgradient is negative (surface hotter than interior) it will emit at a lesser rate. If the “effectivetemperature” is defined as that of an isothermal specimen that emits at the same rate as thenonisothermal specimen, we find that the effective temperature is difficult to evaluate,

9、 even if theextinction coefficient and thermal gradient are accurately known, which is seldom the case. If spectralemittance is desired, the extinction coefficient, and hence the thickness of the emitting layer, changeswith wavelength, and we have the awkward situation of a specimen whose effective

10、temperature is afunction of wavelength.There is no completely satisfactory solution to the problem posed by thermal gradients in ceramicspecimens. The most satisfactory solution is to measure the emittance of essentially isothermalspecimens, and then consider the effect of thermal gradients on the e

11、mitted radiant flux whenattempting to use such thermal emittance data in any real situation where thermal gradients normal tothe emitting surface are present.1Copyright ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.1. Scope1.1 This test metho

12、d describes an accurate technique formeasuring the normal spectral emittance of electrically non-conducting materials in the temperature range from 1000 to1800 K, and at wavelengths from 1 to 35 m. It is particularlysuitable for measuring the normal spectral emittance of mate-rials such as ceramic o

13、xides, which have relatively low thermalconductivity and are translucent to appreciable depths (severalmillimetres) below the surface, but which become essentiallyopaque at thicknesses of 10 mm or less.1.2 This test method requires expensive equipment andrather elaborate precautions, but produces da

14、ta that are accu-rate to within a few percent. It is particularly suitable forresearch laboratories, where the highest precision and accuracyare desired, and is not recommended for routine production oracceptance testing. Because of its high accuracy, this testmethod may be used as a reference metho

15、d to be applied toproduction and acceptance testing in case of dispute.1.3 This test method requires the use of a specific specimensize and configuration, and a specific heating and viewingtechnique. The design details of the critical specimen furnaceare presented in Ref (1),2and the use of a furnac

16、e of this designis necessary to comply with this test method. The transferoptics and spectrophotometer are discussed in general terms.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.5 This standard does not purport to addr

17、ess all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 spectral normal emittanceThe term spectral normalemittance (Note 4) as used in this specification follows thatadvocated by Jones (2), Worthing (3), and others, in that theword emittance is a proper

Emittancemust be further qualified in order to convey a more precisemeaning. Thermal-radiant e

20、xitance that occurs in all possibledirections is referred to as hemispherical thermal-radiant exi-tance. When limited directions of propagation or observationare involved, the term directional thermal-radiant exitance isused. Thus, normal thermal-radiant exitance is a special case ofdirectional ther

21、mal-radiant exitance, and means in a directionperpendicular (normal) to the surface. Therefore, spectralnormal emittance refers to the radiant flux emitted by aspecimen within a narrow wavelength band and emitted into asmall solid angle about a direction normal to the plane of anincremental area of

22、a specimens surface. These restrictions inangle occur usually by the method of measurement rather thanby radiant flux emission properties.NOTE 1All the terminology used in this test method has not beenstandardized. Terminology E 349 contain some approved terms. Whenagreement on other standard terms

Summary of Test Method4.1 The principle of the test method is direct comparison ofthe radiance of an isothermal specimen at a given temperatureto that of a blackbody radiator at the same temperature. Thedetails of the method are g

24、iven by Clark and Moore (1,4).NOTE 2With careful attention to detail, overall accuracy of 62 % canbe attained.4.2 The essential features of the test method are (1) the useof a cylindrical sample that rotates in an electrically heatedfurnace and attains essentially isothermal conditions, and (2)the u

25、se of electronic controls to maintain the host specimen andblackbody reference at the same temperature.4.3 Atheoretical analysis (5) was made of thermal gradientsin the rotating cylinder, supplemented by measurements of thetemperature and temperature changes indicated by a smallthermocouple imbedded

26、 0.025 mm below the surface of aspecimen of alumina, as the specimen rotated in front of awater-cooled viewing port. In brief, it was found that (1) thetemperature fluctuations at the surface of the specimen wereinversely related to the speed of rotation, and because negligi-bly small (2 K or less)

27、at speeds of rotation greater than 50r/min, and (2) the temperature indicated by a radiation shieldedthermocouple suspended in the center of the rotating specimenwas the same within 1 K as the average temperature indicatedby the embedded thermocouple at speeds of rotation greaterthan 10 r/min.NOTE 3

However

33、, the following conditionsmust be met within acceptable tolerance, or corrections mustbe made for the specified conditions.5.1.1 The effective temperatures of the specimen and black-body must be within1Kofeach other. Practical limitationsarise, however, because the temperature uniformities are often

34、not better than a few kelvins.5.1.2 The optical path length in the two beams must beequal, or, preferably, the instrument should operate in anonabsorbing atmosphere, in order to eliminate the effects ofdifferential atmospheric absorption in the two beams. Measure-ments in air are in many cases impor

35、tant, and will notnecessarily give the same results as in a vacuum, thus theequality of the optical paths for dual-beam instruments be-comes very critical.NOTE 4Very careful optical alignment of the spectrophotometer isrequired to minimize differences in absorptance along the two paths of theinstrum

36、ent, and careful adjustment of the chopper timing to reduce“cross-talk” (the overlap of the reference and sample signals) as well asprecautions to reduce stray radiation in the spectrophotometer are requiredto keep the zero line flat. With the best adjustment, the “100 % line” willbe flat to within

37、3 %.5.1.3 Front-surface mirror optics must be used throughout,except for the prism in prism monochromators, and it should beemphasized that equivalent optical elements must be used inthe two beams in order to reduce and balance attenuation of thebeams by absorption in the optical elements. It is rec

It is recommended that all optical elements beadequately filled with energy.5.1.4 The source and field apertures of the two beams mustbe equal in order to ensure that radiant flux in the two beamscompared by the app

In some cases itmay be desirable to define the solid angle of the source andsample when comparing alternative measurement techniques.5.1.5 The response of the detector-amplifier system mustvary linearly with the inc

Apparatus6.1 SpectrophotometerThe spectrophotometer used forthe measurement of spectral normal emittance is equipped witha wavelength drive that provides automatic scanning of thespe

42、ctrum of radiant flux and a slit servomechanism thatautomatically opens and closes the slits to minimize thevariations of radiant flux in the comparison beam. For mostmaterials the wavelength band-pass of the instrument is gen-erally smaller than the width of any absorption or emissionband in the sp

43、ectrum to be measured. Operation of thespectrophotometer at a higher sensitivity level or in a single-beam mode can be used to evaluate band-pass effects. In aprism instrument, several prism compositions can be used tocover the complete wavelength range; however, a sodiumchloride prism is typically

44、used to cover the spectral rangefrom 1.0 to 15 m, and a cesium bromide prism to cover thespectral range from 15 to 35 m. As a detector, a vacuumthermocouple with a sodium chloride window is used in thespectral range from 1 to 15 m, and a vacuum thermocouplewith a cesium bromide window in the spectra

45、l range from 1 to35 m. A black polyethylene filter is used to limit strayradiation in the 15 to 35-m range.6.1.1 In order to reduce the effects of atmospheric absorp-tion by water vapor and carbon dioxide, especially in the 15 to35-m range, the entire length of both the specimen andreference optical

46、 paths in the instrument must be enclosed indry nonabsorbing gas5(dew point of less than 223 K) by anearly gastight enclosure maintained at a slightly positivepressure relative to the surrounding atmosphere.6.2 Specimen FurnaceFig. 1 is a schematic drawing ofthe specimen furnace used at the National

47、 Institute of Stan-dards and Technology. The high-temperature alumina coresurrounding the specimen is wound with 0.8-mm diameterplatinum-40 % rhodium wire. The winding is continuous to theedges of the rectangular opening that is cut into the core topermit entrance of the viewing port. A booster wind

48、ing of thesame wire positioned on the outer alumina core, as indicated inFig. 1, is used to compensate for the large heat losses at thecenter.6.2.1 The water-cooled viewing port is machined fromcopper, and its inner surface is curved to the same radius as thespecimen. A shield of platinum foil, 0.05

49、 mm thick, surroundsthe outer surfaces of the port, including the edges that face thespecimen. This helps to isolate the viewing port thermally fromthe furnace interior. The inner surfaces of the viewing port andthe portion of the platinum shield nearest the specimen areblackened to minimize the possibility of errors from reflectedradiation.The opening at the inner end of the port is 3 mm wideby 12.7 mm high.6.2.2 The alumina support tube (Fig. 1) is surface ground tothe same tolerance as given in 7.1 for the test specimen.
