Consideration of the emission ratio
Every material has its own emissivity value for IR, so the measured value is not
equal to the real temperature. The best result can be reached with materials
that have emissivity ratio near to 1.0 (100%).
The following formula allows correcting the temperature value, when the emis-
sivity ratio is known:
