INFORMATION ABOUT TECHNOLOGY

Infrared (IR) technology is more preferred in the field of health in recent years because it makes temperature measurements more accurate and without touching. Calibration is required to determine whether the infrared ear thermometers (IRET) devices, which are frequently used in health institutions and in daily life at home, work correctly, that is, whether they measure correctly. There is no generally accepted calibrator in the market for the calibration of IRETs.

The IRET calibration device, developed by TÜBİTAK, has been developed with a special production technique and consists of painted standard cavities and a precise temperature bath system. Cavities conform to both American Standard ASTM E1965-98 and European Standard EN-12470-: 2003 (E). The emissivity values ​​of the cavities were measured and the verification of the system was carried out at UME.

With the compact and user-friendly system, it is possible to perform reliable calibration in accordance with the standards. The firm with this technology will have a say in IR temperature measurements and will be able to produce and sell similar by-products (eg cavities).

The IRET calibration device is open to development and improvement.

The device technology subject to transfer has an operating temperature between -40 ℃ and + 100 ℃, its temperature stability is 0.01, and its temperature homogeneity is 0.02.
