Reference Radiation Source CS1500

For calibration of radiation pyrometers in the laboratory or on site at the plant up to a temperature of 1500°C. The CS1500 is preferably used for the calibration of the short-wave silicon or indium-gallium arsenide pyrometers.
Pyrometers with longer wavelengths detector also can be calibrated using the comparison method.

With the cylindrical cavity having a conical end of silicon carbide, a very high emissivity is reached. Six radially arranged rod heating elements bring the cavity to temperature. The built-in PID controller allows for a heating time of about 40 minutes up to 1450°C and a control accuracy of +/-1°C.
