Fluke Calibration blackbody calibrators deliver the accuracy and reliability for precise calibration of infrared thermometers and thermal imagers.
Product Overview
Reliable, Portable Blackbody Calibration for IR Thermometers and Imagers
Fluke’s 9132 and 9133 infrared calibrators are designed to meet the precise needs of infrared thermometer and thermal imager users. These portable blackbody sources offer fast heating and cooling, stable temperatures, and radiometric accuracy—making them ideal for field and lab environments alike.
Fluke 9132 – High-Temperature Blackbody Source (Up to 500 °C)
- Designed for IR calibrations above ambient
- Provides a stable blackbody surface up to 500 °C (932 °F)
- Short heating and cooling times keep workflows efficient
- Radiometric calibration ensures measurement confidence across its entire range
Fluke 9133 – Low-Temperature Blackbody Source (–30 °C to 150 °C)
- Ideal for calibrating IR thermometers at low temperatures
- Reaches –30 °C (22 °F) in typical ambient conditions using solid-state cooling
- Convenient dry gas fitting on front bezel prevents ice buildup on the target
- Offers stable temperature control up to 160 °C (320 °F)
- Heats or cools from ambient to either extreme in approximately 15 minutes
What is a Blackbody Calibrator?
A blackbody calibrator (or blackbody source) is a device that emits thermal radiation with high emissivity, typically near 1.0. This makes it behave closely to an ideal blackbody, emitting radiation according to Planck’s law.
Blackbody calibrators are essential tools for ensuring the accuracy of:
- Infrared thermometers
- Thermal imagers
- Non-contact temperature measurement devices
By aiming a device under test at the precisely controlled blackbody target, users can verify and adjust readings to ensure accuracy and compliance with calibration standards.
