User Guide Landcal P80P Calibration Source Landcal Blackbody Source Type P80P 1.1 Introduction The LANDCAL blackbody source type P80P is a variable temperature, portable black body radiation source designed for use at temperatures up to 80°C (175°F). The source is a primary standard black body for the high precision calibration of radiation thermometers over the range -10 to 80°C (15 to 175°F).
Landcal P80P User Guide Calibration Source 1.2 Safety Every effort has been made during the design and manufacture of this source to ensure that it meets National and International standards of product safety. However, great care must be taken by the user at all times when operating and maintaining sources that are capable of achieving high temperatures.
User Guide Landcal P80P Calibration Source Description The LANDCAL blackbody source type P80P comprises a cylindrical closed end tube (cavity) approximately 160mm/6.3in long with an internal diameter of 50mm (2.0in). The cavity is manufactured from Aluminium which is blackened and the closed end is angled at 120° to increase the emissivity value.
Landcal P80P User Guide Calibration Source Specification Maximum working temperature: 80°C (175°F) Recommended temperature range: -10 to 80 °C (15 to 175°F) Heating rate: (Ambient to 75°C) 60 minutes Cooling rate: (20°C to -10°C) 90 to 120 minutes (dependent on ambient). During the cooling cycle, the cooling time can be reduced by inserting an insulated plug into the front of the cavity.
User Guide Landcal P80P Calibration Source Electrical Supply The P80P is supplied with a removable electrical supply cable. The cable has an IEC style connector on one end that mates to an integrated power entry module. 9 pin 'D' Connector The colour code for the cable is: RS 232 Brown lead...
Landcal P80P User Guide Calibration Source Commissioning 5.1 Inspection on receipt Physically examine all items for damage that may have occurred during transit. Check the contents against the packing note. If any item has been damaged in transit this should be reported to the carrier and to the supplier immediately.
User Guide Landcal P80P Calibration Source Using the Source 6.1 Introduction The P80P has been designed to create an enclosure of uniform temperature, ideal for the calibration of radiation thermometers. The cone point of the cavity is placed in the area of minimum gradients within the source. When calibrating radiation thermometers the target size requirements of the thermometer should, whenever possible, be fulfilled by the cone.
Landcal P80P User Guide Calibration Source Calibration of Radiation Thermometers 7.1 Preparation The control setting will usually be the normal working temperature of the thermometer to be tested. For calibration checks that are traceable to National Standards the target temperature is that indicated by the standard platinum resistance thermometer.
User Guide Landcal P80P Calibration Source Values of between ±0.01K (±0.02°F) and ±0.1K (±0.2°F) are typical for the uncertainty. A value of ±0.05K (±0.1°F )and ±0.2K (±0.4°F) should be specified for the resolution depending on the type of measuring equipment used.
P80P source and/or the standard radiation thermometer should be returned to LAND every 1 to 3 years for recertification. Certificates of Calibration are available from Land Instruments International, UK and Ametek Land, USA which meet the requirements of ISO 17025. Page 10...
