Industry and research are increasingly relying on non-contact temperature measurements with the aid of heat radiation, for example, for the reliable and reproducible drying of car paint. In order to ...

What does this mean to a firefighter using a TI outdoors? During initial size-up while conducting a 360° survey around a structure, we need to remember how a TI interprets images—e.g., white is hot, ...

For many decades, high emissivity coatings have been used in many high temperature industrial applications. However, they did not achieve widespread acceptance in steelmaking applications. The major ...

Many types of high emissivity coatings containing materials that absorb and re-radiate heat energy are often applied on refractories to enhance performance. Compounds containing chromium, zirconium ...

Wavelength-selective thermal emitters (WS-TEs) have been frequently designed to achieve desired target emissivity spectra, as a typical emissivity engineering, for broad applications such as thermal ...

FLIR Systems has published a new technical note that investigates and describes how to use low-cost materials to increase target emissivity to enable accurate measurement using a thermal imaging ...

Summertime is almost here, a time when many people try to beat the heat. But running air conditioners constantly can be expensive and wasteful. Now, researchers reporting in the ACS journal Nano ...
