Description
Workswell BB FIXED
is a low cost black body radiation source with fixed temperature 35 °C – 60 °C in steps of 5 °C (95 °F – 140 °F in steps of 9 °F) with temperature dispersion less than 0,3 °C (0.5 °F). The temperature value is fixed from production and cannot be changed by user. Surface area of Workswell BB FIXED is circular area with 100 mm aperture diameter. There are pyramid shapes on the surface for increasing to increase emissivity and reduce reflectivity. Surface emissivity is 0.95 ± 0.005 for LWIR spectrum. Operating air temperature range is 10 °C to +30 °C.
For calibration of thermal cameras and calibration of pyrometers in the laboratory and in the outdoor
Workswell BB FIXED low cost blackbody radiation source is designed for calibration of thermal cameras and pyrometers calibration. Due to its low weight (less than 400g) and low energy (max 24 W, 24 VDC) consumption, it is possible to apply the Workswell BB FIXED low cost blackbody both 1) in the laboratory and 2) during outdoor measurement, if high demands are placed on accuracy. Workswell BB FIXED economical black body could offer long-term time stability better than n ± 0.08% due using precise PID regulation with 16 single thermal elements, measured/checked by certified external PT100 probe, ie. temperature stability of the central area better than ± 0.05 °C. LED signalization for different modes (warming, stabilization, cooling, electronics overheating) is available.
