1.1 These test methods cover determination of the total normal emittance (Note) of surfaces by means of portable, inspection-meter instruments. Note 1Total normal emittance (N) is defined as the ratio of the normal radiance of a specimen to that of a blackbody radiator at the same temperature. The equation relating N to wavelength and spectral normal emittance [N()] is

Equation 1 – (See Note 1 and equation in body of E408-71(2002).)

1.2 These test methods are intended for measurements on large surfaces when rapid measurements must be made and where a nondestructive test is desired. They are particularly useful for production control tests.
