This BB-4A is a blackbody
temperature reference source
which is adjustable over the
range from 100 to 982°C
(212 to 1800°F) and accurate
to ±1°C, ±0.25% reading of the
indicated temperature. It has
a built-in digital temperature
controller to provide accurate,
stable temperatures as well as
to provide the temperature
readings of the cavity. The heated
cavity provides a target of known
temperature and emissivity, and
virtually any infrared pyrometer
with a spot size diameter less
than 22 mm (0.88") can be
calibrated. The compact, portable
design allows for quick and easy
calibration setups.
