The BBS1500i-40 is a stable, high-temperature blackbody calibration source spanning 50°C to 1500°C, unique for its ability to generate calibration certificates via KPM’s SensorCal3 software. With a 40mm aperture and fast heat-up to 1450°C in 40 minutes, it’s ideal for automatic calibration of pyrometers and thermal imaging cameras.
The BBS1500i-40 is an adjustable-temperature blackbody source with a wide temperature range of 50°C to 1500°C (122°F to 2732°F) and a 40mm (1.57 in) aperture, capable of precise calibration of pyrometers, thermal imaging cameras, FPA detectors, heat flux meters and spectroradiometers/photometers with spot sizes up to 24mm. It outperforms other blackbodies on the market for heat-up time — reaching 1450°C in just 40 minutes.
With its cylindrical cavity providing uniform temperature radiation, and simultaneous display of set point and actual temperature values, the BBS1500i-40 is reliable and easy to read.
The BBS1500i-40 is unique in that it can generate calibration certificates for PSC infrared sensors under test using KPM’s SensorCal3 software. It combines a precisely controlled temperature source with calibration and adjustment tasks — communicating with connected pyrometers to transmit and receive measurement data for manual or fully automatic calibration.
Ideal for automatic calibration workflows where traceable certificates are required alongside the physical calibration process, across pyrometers, thermal imaging cameras, FPA detectors and photometric instruments.
