Emissivity table

emissivity is a value determined by the object's material, surface shape, roughness, presence or absence of oxidation, measurement temperature, measurement wavelength, etc., and is expressed as the ratio "ε" of thermal radiation when blackbody furnace of the same temperature is observed in the same wavelength band.
Generally, emissivity "ε" is known as the value when a wavelength of 0.65 μm, i.e., an optical pyrometer, is used.
Even for the same material, emissivity can change due to the factors listed above, so please use this information as a reference.

>>For emissivity from 8 to 14 µm (thermopile/bolometer element area), please refer here.
