FAQ
BB500 Mid-temperature iR temperature Blackbody Furnance
What is the temperature range, uncertainty, and emissivity of the BB500?
The BB500 operates from 50℃ to 500℃, with an uncertainty of ±(0.15+0.005%|t|)℃ and a standard emissivity of 0.95 (0.998 customizable), making it a reliable mid-high temperature solution for industrial IR thermometer calibration.
Can the BB500 calibrate IR thermometers used in industrial process monitoring (e.g., metal casting, glass production)?
Yes. The BB500’s 50℃~500℃ range and Φ60mm aperture make it ideal for calibrating IR thermometers in manufacturing, quality control, and process monitoring applications.
How to set and verify emissivity when customizing the BB500 to 0.998?
Specify the 0.998 emissivity option when ordering. We pre-calibrate the device, and you can verify it using a traceable IR thermometer or our calibration certificate.
How to address overheating or power issues with the BB500?
Ensure the 220VAC power supply is stable (±10%), check for ventilation blockages, and confirm the operating ambient temperature is within 5~44℃. For persistent issues, our support team will troubleshoot under its 2-year warranty.
