Emissivity compensation for Fluke Calibration 4180 Series Precision Infrared Calibrators (2.97 MB)

To perform accurate infrared thermometer calibration, it’s important to properly adjust the emissivity settings for both the Fluke Calibration 4180 Series Precision Infrared Calibrators and the infrared thermometer. The emissivity setting of the Fluke Calibration 4180 or 4181 should be set to the same setting as the infrared thermometer’s emissivity setting during a calibration. If an infrared thermometer has adjustable emissivity, this setting should be 0.95 on both instruments. If this is not possible, the 418X can compensate for a limited number of emissivity settings other than 0.95.
