Calibration equipment : MIKRON M390

Blackbody calibration sources are infrared radiators used for calibrating and verifying the output signals of infrared thermometers (pyrometers), thermal imaging systems, heat flux measurement systems, or spectrographic analysis systems. LumaSense supplies a unique selection of very precise calibration sources that are traceable to national standards.

The M390 ultra-fast high temper-ature blackbody calibrator is without parallel in its capability to produce very high temper-ature, high emissivity targets, and at the same time stabilize at the required temperature within a few minutes.The cavity is a graphite tube target with a 25 mm (1”) diameter with an effective emissivity of 1.0 from 0.65 to 1.8 μm.

Target temperature is sensed by a rapid response LumaSense infrared thermometer which drives a PID controller to regulate the target temperature precisely to the desired value.The controller is mounted on the calibration source and remote set point programming may be achieved via the standard RS232 communication port. All safety features to protect equipment and operator are easily acces-sible.

LumaSense calibration sources have long been the gold standard to calibrate the instruments that keep your operations up and running. These blackbodies are superior because of the emissivity values, homogeneous emission areas, and a wide range of different sized apertures to adapt to the desired target area.

In addition, fast heat-up times and high temperature stability are guaranteed. The quality of our calibration sources is guaranteed by tests, burn-in times, and radiometric calibrations. On most models, a certificate is provided to document the traceability to the international temperature scale ITS90 and NIST
