Wider range of infrared temperature calibration checkers

This new selection of calibration temperatures enables users to check the accuracy of their infrared temperature sensors at exactly the level that is critical to their process.

The sleek FTK units offer a fast, low-cost and highly accurate way to ensure infrared temperature sensors are operating within calibration limits. They combine the accuracy of a benchtop unit with the compact size and ease of use of a portable calibrator. Consequently they can be used in virtually any situation, from the laboratory to the shop floor.

All models reach and stabilise at their calibration temperatures in approximately 12 minutes and have an LED to show when they are at the correct temperature. They offer an outstanding stability of less than +/-0.2degC drift at an ambient temperature of 20degC, providing great performance from a highly compact and portable instrument.

The large 50mm diameter target area allows all infrared temperature sensors, even those with wide fields of view, to be mounted far from the FTK, which helps to ensure there are no accuracy problems as a result of the front of the sensor being heated. The target itself has a very high emissivity of 0.98, which is suitable for calibration.

FTK checkers are made from stainless steel and have dimensions of just 65 x 94mm. They can be used to check fixed infrared sensors without removing them from service, thereby helping to reduce costs and save time.

Each unit is supplied with a carrying case, mounting support, user manual and power supply, so they can taken right where they are needed and used quickly and easily.
