surface with an accurate contact thermometer (or the
included Type K probe) and then adjust the emissivity
setting of your IR thermometer until its reading matches
the temperature reported by the contact thermometer. You
can then use the emissivity for subsequent measurements
of the same material. Alternatively, you can cover
materials with low emissivity with masking tape or flat
black paint. Make sure to allow the tape or paint to reach
the temperature of the material before taking a
measurement.
