Temperature source spans a greater range
for less
A new primary blackbody temperature source is smaller, lighter, more stable and more accurate over a wider temperature range than its predecessor - and sells at a lower price.
Land Instruments International's new primary blackbody temperature source for calibrating industrial infra-red radiation thermometers is smaller, lighter, more stable and more accurate over a wider temperature range than its predecessor - and sells at a lower price Recommended for temperatures from 500 to 1600C, the bench-mounted Landcal P1600B2 heats up to 1400C in 1.5h, with a stability of less than +/-0.5C over a 60min period

Easy-to-use infrared radiation thermometers
Land Infrared has introduced a new range of compact infrared radiation thermometers for economical, easily implemented non contact temperature measurement.
The high emissivity 50 x 300mm conical-ended blackbody cavity is heated by six equally spaced silicon carbide heating elements to ensure a uniform and stable temperature along its whole length.
Sighting tube diameter has been increased to 49mm, providing a larger target suitable for calibration of a range of temperature measuring instruments including thermal cameras and process imagers.
The source can be used as a primary standard - where the temperature is measured against a certified platinum thermocouple supplied as an optional extra - or for greater accuracy calibration by the comparison method can be adopted.
RS232C serial communications for programming the source temperature set points remotely is available as standard.
For ease of handling, the weight of the Landcal P1600B2 has been reduced to just 60kg.
Optional extras include an optical bench assembly to aid mounting and precise alignment of thermometers into the cavity. Request a free brochure from Land Instruments International ...
