Isotech 550 Quickcal Blackbody
- 30°C to 350 °C
- Emissivity > 0.99
- Controller Resolution 0.1°C
- Accuracy +/-0.5°C
- Heating time 9 minutes
The Isotech 550 QuickCal Blackbody is designed for fast, practical and cost‑effective calibration of infrared thermometers. When the extreme accuracy of a high‑end blackbody such as the Gemini R is not required, the QuickCal provides a compact and reliable alternative. Its lightweight design and rapid warm‑up make it ideal for field use, portable verification and routine checks.
Compact blackbody source with high emissivity
The QuickCal features a 25 mm diameter, 115 mm deep cylindrical cavity with a conical end section to enhance radiative uniformity. A specialised surface coating provides an emissivity of >0.99, allowing the source to behave as an almost ideal blackbody across the 30 °C to 350 °C range.
Fast warm‑up and easy operation
With a warm‑up time of only 9 minutes, the QuickCal is ready for use when speed matters. The controller offers a resolution of 0.1 °C, suitable for most industrial IR applications. Its simple, intuitive interface makes it ideal for daily use in laboratories, production environments and service departments.
Thermal performance
The QuickCal delivers:
- > Stability: ±0.2 °C
- > Accuracy: ±0.5 °C
- > Emissivity: >0.99 (0.98 surface coating + cavity geometry)
- > Display resolution: 0.1 °C across the full range
These characteristics make it suitable for handheld IR thermometers, industrial sensors and medical non‑contact thermometers.
Lightweight and portable
Weighing only 1.5 kg and measuring 65 × 152 × 175 mm, the QuickCal is one of the most compact blackbody sources available. An optional carrying case (931‑22‑71) further enhances portability.
Practical power and connectivity
The QuickCal operates from 100–130 V or 208–240 V, making it suitable for global use. Its 300 W power rating ensures rapid warm‑up without excessive heat output.
The Isotech 550 QuickCal Blackbody is a fast, lightweight and affordable IR calibration source. With its high emissivity, rapid warm‑up and compact design, it is an excellent choice for users who need a dependable blackbody without the complexity of a high‑end system.
