Blackbody Calibrators

7 products

Blackbody calibrators are often essential tools used in a variety of industrial, commercial, and laboratory applications. The highly accurate and stable temperature readings they provide make them necessary for precise temperature control. Omega Engineering's selection of Blackbody Calibrators offers a wide temperature range to suit any application. From -18 °C to 1046 °C, these calibrators provide excellent accuracy and stability. These devices use a high emissivity target plate or target cavity to minimize error and are used to calibrate sensors – such as thermocouples, RTDs, and thermistors – as well as in the calibration of radiation sources. In addition, many of the blackbody calibrators offered by Omega Engineering come with a variety of features, such as built-in analog power controllers, RS232 outputs, and fast heating times.

Frequently Asked Questions

A blackbody calibrator is a high-precision temperature tool used primarily to calibrate infrared thermometers, thermal imaging cameras, and various sensors like RTDs and thermocouples. By providing a highly stable temperature surface with high emissivity, these devices minimize measurement errors and ensure the accuracy of non-contact temperature instruments.

The collection features a wide variety of models from Omega Engineering to suit different industrial and laboratory needs. Available temperature ranges span from as low as -18°C up to high-intensity levels of 1046°C, allowing for the calibration of both cryogenic and high-heat monitoring equipment.

Many of the blackbody calibrators in this range are designed for efficiency and ease of use, featuring fast heating times and built-in analog power controllers. Additionally, several models include RS232 outputs for data logging and remote communication, which is essential for detailed laboratory records and automated testing environments.

These calibrators utilize specialized high-emissivity target plates or target cavities. This design ensures that the infrared radiation emitted by the source is as close as possible to a theoretical "perfect" blackbody, which significantly reduces the uncertainty and errors typically associated with non-contact temperature measurements.

They are essential tools across various sectors, including industrial manufacturing, commercial temperature monitoring, and high-level research laboratories. Any organization that relies on precise thermal imaging or infrared sensor data for quality control and safety will find these calibrators necessary for maintaining equipment traceability.
