Total Hemispherical Emittance Measurements

The ET-100 measures directional reflectance from 1.5 to 21 μm and, based on those values, calculates directional and total hemispherical emissivity. The ET-100 emissometer conforms to ASTM E408, the standard test method for the determination of emittance using a portable instrument. In-band reflectance data for six discrete bands.
