When the infrared thermometer measures surface temperature, the instrument can receive all three energy. Therefore, all the infrared thermometers must be adjusted to read only the emulated energy. Measurement errors are typically caused by infrared energy reflected by other light sources. Some infrared thermometers can change the emissivity, and the emissivity values of a variety of materials can be found from the published emissivity table. Other instruments are fixed to the emissivity of 0.95. The emission rate is to compensate for the surface temperature of most organic materials, paint or oxidized surfaces, and co-coated with a tape or flat black lacquer to compensate.
