Emissivity of Most Common Materials

Emissivity is the measure of an object's ability to emit infrared energy. Emitted energy indicates the temperature of the object. Emissivity can have a value from 0 (shiny mirror) to 1.0 (blackbody). Most organic, painted, or oxidized surfaces have emissivity values close to 0.95. Some of our portable thermometers have adjustable emissivity to ensure accuracy when measuring other materials such as shiny metals. You can choose units with adjustable or preset to 0.95 emissivity.

If you are using a thermometer with a fixed, preset emissivity of 0.95, and need to measure a shiny object you can compensate by covering the surface to be measured with spray oil, flat black paint or masking tape. Measure the temperature of the taped or painted surface. That is the true temperature.

Please note, these tables are to be used as a guide only as emissivity changes with temperature and surface finish.

Thermocouple and RTD Sensors
Temperature sensors come in a variety of shapes and sizes, more than we could ever list on our web site. Any configuration to meet your application can be manufactured. Thermocouples and RTD sensors can usually be configured similar in the designs below. For your convenient we have listed several common sizes and configurations. Please contact us for your requirement.

Sensor Accessories
  Brass Compression Fitting   Adjustable Adapter (Brass compression fitting). Used for installing thermocouples, RTDs, or other sensors with metal tubular sheaths in pipes or tanks providing a torque-free, leak-proof seal. !/8" NPT.
 
  Bayonet Adapter   Bayonet Adapter for any of the bayonet probes with standard locknut. Many length and thread configurations.
 
  Standard Connectors   Made to standard industrial specifications for thermocouples and RTD's, thus allowing matting with other regular size plugs and jacks. Color coded based on sensor type.

 
  Mini Connectors   Made to the standard industrial specifications in a mini size for thermocouples, thus allowing matting with other mini size plugs and jacks. Color coded based on sensor type.

 
  Panel-Mount Connectors   For thermocouple and RTD's individual mounting into a 1 1/8" diameter hole (standard 3/4" conduit knockout). Installed entirely from the front of the panel. Cases are made of nylon (rated at 400°F). Color coded based on sensor type.
 
  Thermocouple Sensor Grade Wire   THERMOCOUPLE WIRE- STANDARD GRADE meets or exceeds ISA (Instrument Society of America) specifications for accuracy. A variety of insulation is offered to meet your requirements. If the wire is to be used to run more than 20 or 30 feet, it is usually preferable to use the larger, more heavily insulated extension grade wire for distance runs. Available as a shielded wire and with stainless steel overbraid.
 
  Thermocouple Extension Grade Wire   THERMOCOUPLE WIRE - EXTENSION GRADE is used mostly for connecting probes to instrumentation. To retard electrical losses along its length, it is generally larger wire and more heavily insulated than the standard grade wire. Available as a shielded wire and with stainless steel overbraid. Different gauges available.
