IR-518/301 Blackbody SystemThe perfect blend of innovative design and state of the art technology

IR-518/301 Blackbody System


The IR-518 Radiation Source provides an accurate, stable source of infrared radiation of known flux and spectral distribution. It can be used as a standard radiation source for the calibration of other laboratory sources, detectors, or other infrared devices requiring calibration against a standard.

The 20º tapered - recessed - cone, surface emissivity, and cavity aspect ratio combine to provide blackbody radiation by multiple reflection, absorption and re-emission of its thermal energy. The thermal energy of the cavity is provided by a ceramic-sealed heater coil that uniformly heats the cavity cylinder to temperatures from 50 º C to 1050 º C. The IR-518 is covered by a one-year warranty.
Options and Additional Accessories:
RS232 or IEEE/GPIB Communications
IR-762 Energy Modulator
Baffle Plate and Mounting Block (Shown in Picture)
Rackmount for Controller
