 The BB701 Blackbody Calibrator is a high performance, rugged, portable calibrator for infrared pyrometers. The BB701 Hot/Cold model has a range of -18 to 149°C (0 to 300°F). The BB701’s ability to provide a stable, repeatable cold calibration point allows the user to calibrate or test most infrared pyrometers quickly and accurately without having to prepare an ice bath. The target plate has a known emissivity, enabling the user to calibrate virtually any infrared pyrometer with a spot size diameter of 63.5 mm (2.5") or smaller. Both models come with an RS-232 computer interface which allows computer control of the setpoints for automatic test applications. An NIST traceable calibration certificate is also provided.
