B.2 Measuring Emissivity<br />

There are several common techniques for the measurement <strong>of</strong> emissivity<br />

using a single band radiometer, two <strong>of</strong> which are illustrated below.<br />

■ The first technique, known as the reference emitter technique, is<br />

accomplished by direct comparison with a known emitter at the same<br />

temperature.<br />

■ The second technique, known as the reflective emissivity technique, is<br />

accomplished by calculating emissivity indirectly using measured values <strong>of</strong><br />

reflectance (and transmittance if applicable).<br />
