Thermal Radiation: Measurement & Conversion Help

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on using a Radiation Pyrometer, specifically the Heitronics KT19.XX Series, to measure temperature and radiation. The user is struggling to convert voltage measurements into radiation values, particularly when the target is not a black body, such as a wall or vegetation. There is uncertainty regarding the appropriate emission grade to set and whether Planck's law can still be applied in this context. Participants suggest contacting the manufacturer for specific guidance on these issues. Understanding the application of Planck's law for non-black body targets is crucial for accurate radiation measurements.

hallo to all,

i use a Radiation Pyrometer to measure temperature and Radiation
Trough a datalogger i get those measurements in Volt
i am able to convert the Volt back in the temperature but in Radiation it is more difficult
i found the Plancksche function, but i do not really understand that

can anybody help me?
thanks in advance!

best regards

Describe your pyrometer.
 
If the target is a black body, then the radiation only depends on the temperature and surface area. If you know the temperature, then plug it into Planck's law to get the brightness (as a function of wavelength or frequency).
 
It is a Pyrometer from Heitronics, KT19.XX Series

My target is not a black Body, for testing i measure now in the Office the door/wall. Later it will be used to measure Vegetation.
I´m also not sure which emissiongrade i should set. Can i use Planck`s law, although i measure not a black Body? Is the function the same?

Thank you guys so much!

Best regards

I think you should email the manufacturer and ask about this.
 
Thread 'Thermo Hydrodynamic Effect'
Vídeo: The footage was filmed in real time. The rotor takes advantage of the thermal agitation of the water. The agitation is uniform, so the resultant is zero. When the aluminum cylinders containing frozen water are immersed in the water, about 30% of their surface is in contact with the water, and the rest is thermally insulated by styrofoam. This creates an imbalance in the agitation: the cold side of the water "shrinks," so that the hot side pushes the cylinders toward the cold...
