Title: A portable instrument for measuring emissivities

Conference ·
OSTI ID:134957

The quality control of surface emissivities is an important aspect in the manufacturing of cryopumps and other cryogenics equipment. It is particularly important in fusion reactor applications where standard coating techniques cannot be applied for the cryocondensation panels and for the thermal shielding baffles. The paper describes the working principle of a table top instrument developed by Dornier for measuring the mean emissivity in the spectral range 0.6-40 {mu}m at ambient temperature and the further development of the instrument to a portable version which can be used for on site measurements.
