4180 Series Precision Infrared Calibrators

Product catalog summary
Overview: The 4180 Series Precision Infrared Calibrators by Fluke Calibration are designed for fast, portable, and easy use, providing calibration solutions from –15 °C to 500 °C (5 °F to 932 °F). These calibrators are radiometrically calibrated for traceable and consistent results, ensuring accurate thermometer calibration.
Key Features:
  • Temperature Range: The 4180 model operates from –15 °C to 120 °C, while the 4181 model ranges from 35 °C to 500 °C.
  • Target Size: A large 152.4 mm (6 in) target accommodates the field of view and calibration geometry requirements of common infrared thermometers.
  • Accuracy and Stability: The calibrators offer high accuracy with minimal emissivity-related corrections, achieving test uncertainty ratios (TUR) as good as 4:1.
  • Uniformity: Excellent uniformity ensures consistent temperature readings across the target area, crucial for infrared thermometer calibration.
Specifications:
  • Display Accuracy: Varies by temperature, with the 4180 model ranging from ±0.40 °C to ±0.55 °C and the 4181 model from ±0.35 °C to ±1.60 °C.
  • Stability: Ranges from ±0.05 °C to ±0.40 °C depending on the model and temperature.
  • Heating and Cooling Times: The 4180 heats from –15 °C to 120 °C in 15 minutes, while the 4181 heats from 35 °C to 500 °C in 20 minutes.
  • Emissivity: Nominal emissivity is 0.95, with compensation available from 0.9 to 1.0.
Common Calibration Pitfalls:
  • Size of Source Effect: Ensures the target size is adequate to prevent incorrect temperature readings.
  • Emissivity Misunderstandings: Emphasizes the importance of radiometric calibration to avoid emissivity-related errors.
Ordering Information: Available models include the 4180 and 4181 Precision Infrared Calibrators, with optional accessories such as carrying cases and apertures.
Contact Information: Fluke Calibration provides contact details for inquiries in the U.S.A., Europe, Middle East, Africa, Canada, and other countries.
