Target Temperature Measurement
The detector output from SI-100 series radiometers follows the fundamental physics of the Stefan-Boltzmann Law,
where radiation transfer is proportional to the fourth power of absolute temperature. A modified form of the
Stefan-Boltzmann equation is used to calibrate sensors, and subsequently, calculate target temperature:

the target and detector, analogous to energy emission being linearly proportional to the fourth power of
temperature in the Stefan-Boltzmann Law.
During the calibration process, m and b are determined at each detector temperature set point (10 C increments
across a -15 C to 45 C range) by plotting measurements of T

Emissivity Correction
Appropriate correction for surface emissivity is required for accurate surface temperature measurements. The
simple (and commonly made) emissivity correction, dividing measured temperature by surface emissivity, is
incorrect because it does not account for reflected infrared radiation.
The radiation detected by an infrared radiometer includes two components: 1. radiation directly emitted by the
target surface, and 2. reflected radiation from the background. The second component is often neglected. The
magnitude of the two components in the total radiation detected by the radiometer is estimated using the
emissivity (ε) and reflectivity (1 - ε) of the target surface:
