A comparison of infrared-emittance measurements and measurement techniques

John P. Millard, Elmer R. Streed

Values of directional and hemispherical emittance of twelve coatings were needed in support of a spacecraft experiment. Laboratory measurements were made by two calorimetric and four reflectance techniques and with two portable devices designed for field or laboratory operation. The …

Infrared reflectance of paints

Arthur B. Krewinghaus

The Kubelka–Munk coefficients for paint films in the 0.8–2.0–μ wavelength range are determined from reflectance measurements on films of several different thicknesses over a black substrate. The scattering coefficients S of the paints studied are inversely proportional to the wavelength …

A 5-m Integrating Sphere

Mamoru Nonaka, Takeo Kashima, Yataro Kondo

An integrating sphere with an inner diameter of 5 m was constructed with special attention in order to make a true sphere by welding together steel plates of thickness of 12 mm. The deviations of radii from a true sphere …

Optical Sphere Paint and a Working Standard of Reflectance

F. Grum, G. W. Luckey

Specially prepared barium sulfate powders and coatings of these powders with polyvinyl alcohol have been used as working standards of reflectance and for coating integrating spheres. These materials are satisfactory for use in the wavelength range 0.20–2.00 µ. Since the …

Optical Reflectors for Use in Internal Sample Aqueous Čerenkov Counters

Ove M. Strindehag

Properties such as reflectance, deterioration in water, and deposition of activities are investigated for several types of optical reflectors. Reflectance values for both visible and ultraviolet light are included and the deterioration tests extend up to water temperatures of 150°C. …

Paints to Reflect Ultraviolet Light

Donald F. Wilcock, Walter Soller

The development of paints reflecting up to 70 per cent in the ultraviolet is described. The stages of development are (a) testing of reflection or transmission of possible paint materials, (b) testing of the simplest possible combinations of pigment and …

The measurements of absorptivity and reflectivity

E. T. DE LA Perrelle, T. S. Moss, H. Herbert

To deduce the absorptivity from a measurement of reflectivity it is necessary to measure the reflectivity in such a manner that both diffuse and specular reflection are correctly included. A method of doing this is described which makes use of …
