Radiation Emissivity of some common Materials

Sponsored Links

The emissivity coefficient - ε - indicates the radiation of heat from a body according the Stefan-Boltzmann Law, compared with the radiation of heat from a ideal black body where the emissivity coefficient ε = 1.

Emissivity coefficients - ε - for some common materials are indicated in the table below:
