Abstract

This article presents a graphical method to calculate reflection corrections for radiation thermometry. The method is based on the observation that the measured radiance of a target is a linear combination of radiances dependent on the emissivity of the target. The method is most easily implemented as a nomogram, enabling thermometer users to estimate reflection corrections immediately when measurements are taken. The nomogram also provides a visual means of explaining the impact of reflection errors on measurements and for explaining the impact of measurement uncertainties on temperature measurements corrected for reflections.
