Industrial Applications
infrared temperature calibrators
The BB40-1’s compactness and stability make it indispensable across sectors prioritizing on-site accuracy.
Field Calibration Services
Employed by third-party metrology firms for on-site verification of handheld IR thermometers at small-to-medium manufacturing facilities, eliminating the need for transporting heavy equipment.
Power Grid Equipment Maintenance
Used by utility companies to calibrate infrared sensors on transformers, busbars, and transmission lines. Its portability enables fieldwork in outdoor or damp substation environments where condensation is a constant challenge.
Cold Chain Temperature Validation
Serves as a traceable reference source for calibrating IR thermometers in cold storage warehouses (-25℃~-50℃) or refrigerated logistics, ensuring compliance with temperature-controlled supply chain standards and regulations.
Automotive Manufacturing Calibration
Calibrates temperature sensors for engine blocks and exhaust systems in humid production workshops, maintaining accuracy of thermal process monitoring critical for quality control in automotive manufacturing.
Point-of-Care & Screening Verification
Deployed in hospitals, clinics, or airports to periodically verify NCIT and fever screening thermograph performance, supporting robust infection control protocols.
HVAC System Inspections (Energy Audits)
Calibrating thermal cameras used by facility managers to accurately identify thermal bridges, insulation failures, and hot spots in building systems.
