Non-contact infrared temperature calibration

Calibration service of infrared thermometers and calibration sources.

 
A reference laboratory for calibration of infrared instruments was established at Risø in 1996. Traceable (NIST & NPL) calibration of pyrometers, infrared thermometers and spectrometers is made with high-accuracy blackbodies in the temperature range -50 oC to 1600 oC. Instruments for calibration are usually returned within a few days of receipt.
The following services are offered for customers:


  • calibration service of infrared thermometers and calibration sources;
  • calibration of FTIR spectrometers and advanced infrared instrumentation;
  • measurement of spectral emissivity of samples, coatings and infrared sources;
  • consultative service and information.

An introduction to non-contact measurement of temperature is given in the report "Measurement of Temperature by Means of Infrared Instruments", Risø-R-862(DA). The report (in Danish) is available for download.
