Black Body Calibrators - Nagman Instruments

Black body calibration sources from Nagman permits the calibration of infrared temperature sensors with low uncertainty. This editorial elaborates on what makes the most excellent black body calibration source for a specified function and what you should judge when selecting one. A black body calibration source is a tool for examining the calibration of an infrared temperature sensor. It consists of a heated or cooled target object whose temperature is accurately known and is the foundation for accurate calibration of infrared pyrometers. The black body calibrators are a perfect radiator i.e. it emits thermal energy whose power at a given wavelength and temperature follows Planck’s Law of radiation. It absorbs and emits all radiation and has an emissivity rate of 1. Since there no matter exists that could make a true perfect black body, in practice, a black body calibration source for all time has a slight...
