Environmental Influences on IR Thermography Surveys

Do environmental influences such as the sun and wind have an effect when performing an infrared (IR) thermography survey?

Infrared Thermography Laboratory

The Infrared Thermography Laboratory (IRLab) conducts detailed laboratory experiments on the thermal performance of windows and other insulated systems.

NASA's Infrared Processing and Analysis Center

Wonderful site with all kinds of interesting information on infrared applications.

Plant Maintenance Resource Center

A premier web resource for Maintenance professionals. It includes links to maintenance consultants, CMMS and maintenance software, CMMS vendors, maintenance conferences and conference papers, articles on maintenance, and many other valuable resources. Maintains a list of very useful articles on thermography.

Thermology

The study of heat (using infrared thermal imaging).

University of Massachusetts - Astronomical Courseware Development

Exploration of Blackbody Radiation

Temperatures.com

This site is aimed at helping people find and learn about temperature sensors so they can make competent temperature measurements. It points to places mostly on the Web where useful information is available plus catalogs applications and suppliers of temperature sensors and thermal imagers. It is aimed at student, scientist, engineer and technologist alike.

Emissivity of Common Materials

Because the emissivity of a given material will vary with temperature and surface finish, the value in these tables should be used only as a guide for relative or differential temperature measurements. The exact emissivity of a material should be determined when high accuracy is required.

Material Emissivity Properties

The following average emissivity values have been taken from various sources and are presented for reference only. Please refer to the EOI primer on emissivity for considerations you should make when using "emissivity".
