BBS1700

High-Temperature Precision Blackbody Calibration Source

The BBS1700 is a benchtop blackbody calibration source covering 300°C to 1700°C (572°F to 3272°F), with a large 1-inch aperture, emissivity greater than 0.99, and stabilisation to within 0.5°C of set point. It’s built for precision calibration of non-contact IR thermometers, thermal imaging cameras and FPA detectors.

High Temperature Precision Calibration Source

The Process Sensors BBS1700 benchtop blackbody calibration source operates across a wide temperature range from 300°C to 1700°C (572°F to 3272°F). It provides a large 1-inch aperture with high accuracy and uniformity, long-term stability and a fast slew rate — used for calibration verification of non-contact infrared thermometers/pyrometers, thermal imaging detectors/cameras, focal plane array detectors, and heat flux meters. This versatile blackbody source is also ideal for use with collimators and automated calibration test stations.

Key Features

  • Precision digital self-tuning PID controller for accurate, repeatable set point control.
  • Thermostatically controlled fan-cooled enclosure for stable, consistent operation.
  • Emissivity greater than 0.99 for highly accurate radiometric reference.
  • Stabilises to within 0.5°C of the selected set point.
  • Large 1-inch (25mm) aperture simplifies alignment between the blackbody and the device under test.

Applications

Ideal for calibration environments in laboratories, universities and manufacturing facilities — wherever non-contact infrared thermometers, thermal imaging camera systems, focal plane array detectors or spectrophotometers need traceable, high-temperature reference calibration.
