Medium Background Facility (VNIIOFI)<br />

for VTBB and fixed-point BB comparison<br />

<strong>The</strong> Medium Background<br />

Facility (MBF) was<br />

constructed to provide<br />

the absolute radiometric<br />

calibration <strong>of</strong> blackbody<br />

sources <strong>of</strong> thermal<br />

radiation, to compare<br />

radiometric scales with<br />

predictions for the<br />

measured temperatures,<br />

and to serve as a highly<br />

stable transfer standard<br />

for calibration <strong>of</strong><br />

blackbody sources under<br />

the medium vacuum<br />

conditions (10 - 4 Torr)<br />

and medium background<br />

environment (liquid<br />

nitrogen cooled shroud)<br />
