The Gemini R is a blackbody source with which radiation pyrometers, commonly referred to as IR sensors, can be calibrated. With a temperature range of 50¨¬C to 550¨¬C, the temperature of the cavity can be set with 0.1¨¬C resolution. The temperature of the furnace is set and indicated on a PID controller. An independent indicator is also provided for higher accuracy with a standard probe, which indicates the actual radiance temperature. Temperature variation over a 5-minute period, as viewed on the temperature controller, is ¡¾0.2¨¬C and a radiation thermometer directed into the cavity detects similar variations.
The Gemini R¡¯s cavity¡¯s size is 2.5" ¨ª x 6.3" deep (65mm x 160mm). Maximum temperature differences are ¡¾1¨¬C in the range of 100¨¬C to 500¨¬C. The Gemini R is capable of accepting blackbody fixed points to achieve the highest level of a radiation measurement possible. Typical fixed-point uncertainties are ¡¾0.25¨¬C. Gallium, indium, tin and zinc cells are available.
Emissivity is greater than 0.995, and traceability may be established with a NIST certificate for the built-in indicator and/or supplied probe. The Gemini R can be supplied with RS232 or RS422 communications.
A compact furnace for calibrating radiation pyrometers, the Pegasus R sets the temperature of the furnace on a controller while an independent indicator, whose sensor is built into the furnace¡¯s cavity, indicates the actual radiance temperature. The cavity¡¯s diameter is 0.8" (20mm). The depth is 2.6" (65mm). The emissivity is 0.995. The cavity is removable and a fixed-point cell may be put in its place.
A Blackbody Target Radiation Source is housed within the Pegasus R for the calibration of radiation thermometers in the wavelength range of 9 to 14 micrometers. Incorporating suitable insulation within its design, this radiation source¡¯s aperture is 0.4" (10mm) in diameter. A scan across the aperture at 444¨¬C demonstrates the source is uniform to better than 0.3¨¬C. Traceability may be established with a NIST certificate for the built-in indicator and supplied probe.
The Pegasus R¡¯s temperature range is 150¨¬C to 1200¨¬C and it has a stability of 0.1¨¬C. Time to temperature is 20 minutes. It weighs only 15 lb. and is easily carried in the field for on-site use. The Pegasus R can be supplied with either RS232 or RS422 communications.
