Large Area Calibrators with Radiometric Calibration Traceability From -15 °C to 500 °C!
American Flats UT, USA — The new blackbody calibrators being offered by Hart Scientific are a breath of fresh air.
They come with radiometric calibration traceability built-in and the sales web page on the Hart Scientific website is exceptionally informative.
So, too are the online and free downloadable PDF files of the Users Manual (in 7 additional languages), the Technical Manuals and an Applications Note entitled “IR Calibration 101″!
Not only are they exceptionally complete and well-written, in our opinion, they set a new benchmark for their competitors, Ametek-Land and Mikron Infrared in the industrial and scientific blackbody arena.
It looks like Fluke has really done its homework and executed a well-reasoned product development plan.
Kudos to the people at Hart Scientific and Fluke!
NOTE:Much of the same information can be found on the Fluke Corporation website for obvious reasons.
K. Irani, one of the founders of Mikron Infrared and well-known in Infrared circles as one of the driving force behind Mikron’s in-depth product line of Infrared Calibration products, has retired from his active tasks.
He is now offering consulting services through a new organization Infrared Technologies, Inc and their website “Infrared Technology” (201-264-1900 phone), Offering:
“Consulting services for non-contact temperature measurement,
infrared thermal imaging, and blackbody calibration sources”
Among the interesting things to be found on this website are a series of industrial applications stories on uses of Infrared thermometers and Thermal Imagers.
Here is an example of one of them: A Coal-fired power plant movie that depicts accumulation of ash on wall tubes.
Thermometrics Corporation has an extensive webpage describing the various types of temperature sensors used in measuring food temperatures in both professional settings and at home.
They have an additional webpage that reviews the reasons why knowing food temperature and time at temperature is important.
Norfolk VA, USA –The Blackbody Calculator at www.SpectralCalc.com is an excellent tool for anybody working with, teaching or studying blackbody radiation.
This tool is simple but powerful.
With only a few clicks, you can plot the Planck curve over any desired range, in any system of units, and obtain numerical calculations of all the standard radiometric quantities: radiance, spectral radiance, in-band radiance, radiant emittance, peak of the Plank curve, and much more.
Unlike other online calculators, you can choose from any of the common units: watts, photons/second, microns, wavenumbers, and Hz.
Extensive documentation of the all the formulas used, complete with their derivations, is available.
Best of all, access to the Blackbody Calculator at www.SpectralCalc.com is completely free!
