The present work introduces two techniques for measuring the surface emissivity of three materials commonly used in offshore platforms: Thermal Sprayed Aluminum (TSA) coating, Jotatemp1000 coating and a raw marine steel surface. Emissivity measurement methodologies and the basic concepts of radiation and natural convection were investigated. From this, the modeling of the problem in question for the heat and emissivity estimates is determined. The first experiment consisted of measuring the emissivity with the aid of a thermographic camera, in which the measurement comparison was performed on a flat plate and a coated tube for TSA and Jotatemp1000. In the second experiment, emissivity was measured by gauging heat transfers by natural convection and radiation in an annular space. The measurements in this experiment were carried out for different pressures, in order to quantify the effect of natural convection. In the first experiment, there was a significant discrepancy between the values measured in the tubes and in the plates. It was also found that the emissivity of all materials remained practically constant for values above 100 C Degrees. A considerable disparity was observed in the emissivity values found in the first experiment compared to the second for Jotatemp and marine steel. From the data, is verified that emissivity measured with a thermographic camera has greater precision, as it is a direct measure. Among the measurements in the annular space, the most reliable for small temperature intervals is the surface parameterization given by matlab. Although the results show such discrepancies, it can be observed that Jotatemp100 obtained the highest emissivity values in all experiments and the TSA the lowest values, even with experimental uncertainty.
