Table of Total Emissivity - Back to Product Guide
The following tables are presented for use as a guide when making infrared temperature measurements with NEWPORT or other infrared pyrometers. The total emissivity (e) for Metals, Non-metals and Common Building Materials are given.

Since the emissivity of a material will vary as a function of temperature and surface finish, the values in these tables should be used only as a guide for relative or delta measurements. The exact emissivity of a material should be determined when absolute measurements are required.
