Measurement of surface temperature and emissivity by a multitemperature method for Fourier-transform infrared spectrometers

Surface temperatures are estimated with high precision based on a multitemperature method for Fourier-transform spectrometers. The method is based on Planck's radiation law and a nonlinear least-squares fitting algorithm applied to two or more spectra at different sample temperatures and a single measurement at a known sample temperature, for example, at ambient temperature. The temperature of the sample surface can be measured rather easily at ambient temperature. The spectrum at ambient temperature is used to eliminate background effects from spectra as measured at other surface temperatures. The temperatures of the sample are found in a single calculation from the measured spectra independently of the response function of the instrument and the emissivity of the sample. The spectral emissivity of a sample can be measured if the instrument is calibrated against a blackbody source. Temperatures of blackbody sources are estimated with an uncertainty of 0.2-2 K. The method is demonstrated for measuring the spectral emissivity of a brass specimen and an oxidized nickel specimen.     

Influence of Non-ideal Blackbody Radiator Emissivity and a Method for its Correction

Demands for accurate temperature measurement and calibration are increasing along with the wider use of radiation thermometry in industry. However, the deviation of a ‘blackbody’ radiator emissivity from the emissivity of an ideal blackbody remains one of the main uncertainty contributions in the calibration of radiation thermometers, although the performance of blackbody radiators has been continually improving. Nevertheless, the influence of this deviation was often ignored due to the complexity of the correction. In this paper, general methods to evaluate the influence of the emissivity deviation of a blackbody radiator from unity for typical radiation thermometer models are described. An approximate practical method for wide-band radiation thermometers is proposed. Moreover, the concept of equivalent wavelength and the corresponding calculation method are introduced to simplify the mathematical model. The calculation result and a mathematical expression for the equivalent wavelength applicable to most popular radiation thermometers with a spectral range of 8–14 μm are given. The analysis and calculation show that the influence of blackbody radiator emissivity on longer working-wavelength radiation thermometer calibrations at mid or high temperatures cannot be ignored.     

Measurement and Analysis of the Temperature Gradient of Blackbody Cavities,for Use in Radiation Thermometry

Blackbody cavities are the standard radiation sources widely used in the fields of radiometry and radiation thermometry. Its effective emissivity and uncertainty depend to a large extent on the temperature gradient. An experimental procedure based on the radiometric method for measuring the gradient is followed. Results are applied to particular blackbody configurations where gradients can be thermometrically estimated by contact thermometers and where the relationship between both basic methods can be established. The proposed procedure may be applied to commercial blackbodies if they are modified allowing secondary contact temperature measurement. In addition, the established systematic may be incorporated as part of the actions for quality assurance in routine calibrations of radiation thermometers, by using the secondary contact temperature measurement for detecting departures from the real radiometrically obtained gradient and the effect on the uncertainty. On the other hand, a theoretical model is proposed to evaluate the effect of temperature variations on effective emissivity and associated uncertainty. This model is based on a gradient sample chosen following plausible criteria. The model is consistent with the Monte Carlo method for calculating the uncertainty of effective emissivity and complements others published in the literature where uncertainty is calculated taking into account only geometrical variables and intrinsic emissivity. The mathematical model and experimental procedure are applied and validated using a commercial type three-zone furnace, with a blackbody cavity modified to enable a secondary contact temperature measurement, in the range between 400 °C and 1000 °C.

“Disappearing Object” Radiation Thermometer for Low-Emissivity Process Control

One of the long-standing problems in metals-processing industries is the measurement of the temperature of low-emissivity targets. Such measurements are typically accompanied by problems with reflections and highly variable emissivity, so conventional spectral-band radiation thermometry is subject to large errors and uncertainties. This article presents the design principles of a novel radiation thermometer that places the target inside a blackbody cavity at the desired process temperature. Uncertainties in the measurements of target temperature due to reflections and the target emissivity fall in proportion to the difference between the target and process temperatures, and are minimized when the target is at the desired process temperature. This procedure enables accurate control of the process to a level near the minimum uncertainty, which is lower than those for other current measurement techniques. The article presents the uncertainty analysis for the new thermometer, and suggests practical realizations for applications in aluminum extrusion plants and steel strip mills.

Remote-sensing infrared thermometer with radiation balancing

What is to our knowledge a novel infrared thermometer (IRT) for remote measurement of the temperature rise (-20-100 K) above the variable ambient (270-320 K) of a distant object is described. A radiation-balancing method is successfully extended to the near-ambient temperature range by variation of the temperature of a built-in blackbody, until the radiation from it equals the radiation from the source, so that its temperature is proportional to that of the source. Another feature believed to be novel is simplifying the design by elimination of the need for cooling the blackbody for subambient temperature range by use of a second blackbody, strategically located, which is heated to achieve radiation balance. Detailed theoretical analysis is given, showing that the IRT can measure remotely the total emissivity or even the electric current or voltage. Resistive inserts are proposed for improving the accuracy of current measurement. A method is proposed for simultaneous remote measurement of absolute temperature and emissivity by variation of the heating current and the aperture of the blackbody for radiation balancing in two bands so that prior knowledge of the object's emissivity is not needed.     

Apparatus for Measuring Spectral Emissivity of Solid Materials at Elevated Temperatures

Spectral emissivity measurements at high temperature are of great importance for both scientific research and industrial applications. A method to perform spectral emissivity measurements is presented based on two sample heating methods, the flat plate and tubular furnace. An apparatus is developed to measure the normal spectral emissivity of solid material at elevated temperatures from 1073 K to 1873 K and wavelengths from \(2\,\upmu \hbox {m}\) to \(25\,\upmu \hbox {m}\). Sample heating is accomplished by a torch flame or a high temperature furnace. Two different variable temperature blackbody sources are used as standard references and the radiance is measured by a FTIR spectrometer. Following calibration of the spectral response and background radiance of the spectrometer, the effect of the blackbody temperature interval on calibration results is discussed. Measurements are performed of the normal spectral emissivity of SiC and graphite over the prescribed temperature and wavelength range. The emissivity of SiC at high temperatures is compared with the emissivity at room temperature, and the influence of an oxide layer formed at the surface of SiC on the emissivity is studied. The effect of temperature on the emissivity of graphite is also investigated. Furthermore, a thorough analysis of the uncertainty components of the emissivity measurement is performed.

Estimation of emission properties for silica particles using thermal radiation spectroscopy

This paper shows that spectrally resolved thermal radiation from silica aggregate particles can be used to extract an emissivity and a temperature in the visible regime. Emissivity of silica aggregate particles at temperatures above 2000?K is measured by the analysis of emission radiation spectra from the particles. Temperature is estimated from the relation between the emission intensity and the wavenumber. Relative emissivities at temperatures from 2150 to 2919?K are presented. Proper knowledge of optical properties for silica aggregate particles will help further the understanding of thermophysics at high temperature.     

A High-Emissivity Blackbody with Large Aperture for Radiometric Calibration at Low-Temperature

A newly designed high-emissivity cylindrical blackbody source with a large diameter aperture (54 mm), an internal triangular-grooved surface, and concentric grooves on the bottom surface was immersed in a temperature-controlled, stirred-liquid bath. The stirred-liquid bath can be stabilized to better than 0.05°C at temperatures between 30 °C and 70 °C, with traceability to the ITS-90 through a platinum resistance thermometer (PRT) calibrated at the fixed points of indium, gallium, and the water triple point. The temperature uniformity of the blackbody from the bottom to the front of the cavity is better than 0.05 % of the operating temperature (in °C). The heat loss of the cavity is less than 0.03 % of the operating temperature as determined with a radiation thermometer by removing an insulating lid without the gas purge operating. Optical ray tracing with a Monte Carlo method (STEEP 3) indicated that the effective emissivity of this blackbody cavity is very close to unity. The size-of-source effect (SSE) of the radiation thermometer and the effective emissivity of the blackbody were considered in evaluating the uncertainty of the blackbody. The blackbody uncertainty budget and performance are described in this paper.     

Natural convection of a radiating fluid in a square enclosure with perfectly conducting end walls

Combined natural convection and radiation in an asymmetrically heated square enclosure is studied numerically with both adiabatic and perfectly conducting end walls. The momentum and energy equations are solved by a control volume based finite difference algorithm which is coupled with the discrete ordinates method for radiative heat transfer calculations. The changes in the flow patterns and temperature distributions due to the presence of radiation in an enclosure with conducting end walls are compared with those for the case of an enclosure with adiabatic end walls, and significant differences are noted. The flow field is stronger, and the heat input along the hot wall and the end walls are greater for the conducting end wall case. The effects of optical thickness, scattering and wall emissivity on the flow and temperature fields and heat transfer rates are analysed.
