Radiometer Calibration Services

ISO-CAL North America provides a wide range of calibration services to meet any requirement, big or small. Indoors or out. Our vast calibration capability allows us to select the most appropriate calibration method best suited to meet each customer’s specific application requirement, facilitating optimal measurement certainty at the field or laboratory testing level. ISO-CAL North America maintains fully characterized primary and secondary reference radiometers, including NIST-traceable spectral irradiance standards.

When it comes to the calibration of broadband thermopile and photo-optic solar irradiance sensors, the accredited scope and capabilities of ISO-CAL North America are unmatched. Services include indoor and outdoor ISO 17025-accredited calibration services of all pyranometer, albedometer, and pyrheliometer makes and models to the ASTM or ISO calibration standard of choice: ASTM G167, ASTM E824, ASTM G207, ISO 9846, and ISO 9847 calibration standard for pyranometers and albedometers or ASTM E816 and ISO 9059 standard for the calibration or pyrheliometers.

Lowest Expanded Calibration Uncertainty Estimate

All ISO-CAL North America sensor calibration returns include an ISO 17025-accredited certificate of calibration stating the before and post-calibration (sensitivity) result as well as the CMC expanded calibration uncertainty estimate on the reported calibration result, expressed as a percentage. The stated CMC expanded calibration uncertainty estimate on an ISO-CAL North America pyranometer, albedometer, or pyrheliometer calibration report is the lowest in the industry. Why does calibration uncertainty matter? The lower the CMC calibration uncertainty estimate, the lower the measurement uncertainty estimate at the field level according to the ASTM G213 standard. Calibrate with confidence, calibrate with ISO-CAL North America LLC.

Reference Instruments

Absolute Cavity Pyrheliometers
ISO-CAL North America operates two Primary Standard Absolute Cavity Pyrheliometers, traceable to the WRR (World Radiometric Reference). The Absolute Cavity Pyrheliometer is the primary standard reference instrument to which all pyranometers and pyrheliometers are traceable.

Both Absolute Cavity Pyrheliometers employ a new state-of-the-art control system developed by Campbell Scientific Inc. The compact portable control system features Campbell Scientific’s latest CR6 model data logger. The control system fully automates cavity operation, data processing, and storage.

FEL Irradiance Standard
The FEL Standard Lamp provides absolute calibration of spectral irradiance from 250 – 1100 nm, serving as the primary reference for all spectroradiometer and UV radiometer calibrations.
