The study proposes a novel non-intrusive infrared technique to measure simultaneously the thickness and temperature of a thin layer that is semi-transparent to infrared radiation. The measurement method has been called Twin Background Subtraction technique. The technique simultaneously exploits the mid-wave IR emission from the film to be measured and the radiation attenuation by the same film of the emission coming from two backgrounds at different constant temperatures. This study discusses the method theoretically and experimentally, focusing on the uncertainties and the dependence on different parameters of the set-up and fluid physical properties. The fluid adopted for the film is water, and various tests have been carried out by changing its temperature between 15 and 50 °C and its thickness from 0 to 500 µm. The TBS technique was proven to be of interest for studying micro to mini films both from a qualitative and quantitative point of view for water films ranging between 10 µm and 350 µm.

Abstract
The study proposes a novel non-intrusive infrared technique to measure simultaneously the thickness and temperature of a thin layer that is semi-transparent to infrared radiation. The measurement method has been called Twin Background Subtraction technique. The technique simultaneously exploits the mid-wave IR emission from the film to be measured and the radiation attenuation by the same film of the emission coming from two backgrounds at different constant temperatures. This study discusses the method theoretically and experimentally, focusing on the uncertainties and the dependence on different parameters of the set-up and fluid physical properties. The fluid adopted for the film is water, and various tests have been carried out by changing its temperature between 15 and 50 °C and its thickness from 0 to 500 µm. The TBS technique was proven to be of interest for studying micro to mini films both from a qualitative and quantitative point of view for water films ranging between 10 µm and 350 µm.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
