The following table serves as a guideline for setting emissivity yin thermography. It provides the emissivity ε of common materials. Sine the emissivity changes with the temperature and the surface structure, the values listed here are only guidelines. In order to measure the absolute temperature value, the exact emissivity of the material must be determined.
