Because the IRt/c measures the radiated wave-lengths that indicate temperature, which are generally ten times longer than the wavelengths that indicate color, color changes do not influence temperature readings. Even for situations in which the target temperature is sufficiently high such that appreciable energy is radiated at visible wavelengths, all IRt/c models except Lo E completely filter out the visible wavelengths.
Except to the extent that color might indicate a change in surface texture, and thereby affect emissivity, there will be no effect of color on the reading. |
