    Idea for black body source

    Hi, We have a commercial black body reference, a Mikron M335. Unfortunately due to the nature of the process, damage to the fibre optic leads and lenses is hard to avoid and common. We would like a way to check the instruments weekly, even daily if possible to ensure there is no recent damage...

    Idea for black body source

    Hi, I am trying to implement a low tech, quick "check" source for our radiation thermometers to ensure they are in good working order between calibrations again a calibrated black body radiation source. My idea was to use an integrating sphere with an incandescent lamp as a source. Then two...

    IR thermometer calibration source

    725°C to 1200°C is the range that we calibrate the devices against the black body. With regard to accuracy, the in-situ check will be cross checked, that is, we have a "laboratory" unit which we will take to the pyrometers in-situ, measure the "check" source then compare that to the in-situ...

    IR thermometer calibration source

    Hi, I currently have a black body calibration source which I use for work. It works great, I can calibrate all the IR thermometers just fine, however it isn't a simple quick "check". The IR thermometers are the ratio type in that they measure two wavelengths and using the ratio it can work out...
