following books and technical journal papers contain useful details on emissivity,
especially on spectral emissivity. Most are available in libraries at major technical
university libraries. Some of the books are available from book sellers on the
internet such as Amazon. More references on the main references pages...

A web site for Rudy
Rudolph, Temperature Consultant, contains a brief but excellent summary on
just what
emissivity is in terms that the average technical person can understand.
He even gives some very practical advice on how to get a quick estimate of the
emissivity value if you do not have a clue. Please remember, you must measure
carefully and because we have no control over how careful you are or how well
you follow his advice, any errors you encounter are your responsibility not Rudy's
or ours. Things are not always as easy nor as simple as some brief suggestions
may imply.
