BBS500-6R

Lightweight Portable BBS Calibration Source for Temperature Testing

The BBS500-6R Blackbody Calibration Source features a large 6-inch IR emitter aperture, making it ideal for thermal imaging cameras, detector arrays, and large spot-size pyrometers — both fixed and portable. It confirms infrared temperature accuracy across a 35°C to 500°C range, with a front-facing touch screen controller that simplifies set-point temperature adjustment and accelerates accuracy testing.

Key Features

• Large 6-inch (152mm) aperture — ideal for filling the field of view of thermal imaging cameras and detector arrays.
• Front-facing touch screen controller for fast, intuitive set-point adjustment.
• Emissivity of 0.95 for reliable radiometric reference.
• Fast heat-up: 20 minutes from 35°C to 450°C, then just 10 more minutes to reach 500°C.
• Lightweight and portable design for use across multiple sites or test benches.

Applications

• IR radiance emission calibration of spectrophotometers, spectroradiometers, FLIRs, thermal imaging cameras, pyrometers, radiometers and heat flux meters.
• Thermal imaging camera, portable handheld, and fixed IR pyrometer calibration.
• Research and development application requirements.
• Calibration laboratories, universities and manufacturing facilities.
