contents This paper indicates that the sensitivity and accuracy of an infrared radiometer for emissivity measurements depends not only on its design and the measurement method, but also on the spurious radiation. This spurious radiation must be taken into account in the calibration processes since it can be of the same order of magnitude as that of the sample in highly reflective surfaces. Its presence may also be the cause of the inability to detect small surface emissivity changes induced by any surface or bulk properties (anomalous skin effect, phase transitions, etc.). In this paper, the analysis of the spurious radiation is performed for a T form radiometer and a measurement method where the surroundings are considered to emit as if they were black bodies. However, the results and conclusions that are obtained can be extended without difficulty to any type of radiometer and to all measurement methods. Our research shows that if the sample is placed normal to the emitted radiation optical path, two different spurious radiation sources are detected. However, for low emitting and highly specular materials, they can be eliminated by tilting the sample between 6 and 20° without modifying the spectral emissivity.
