High accuracy temperature calibrators
3 Jul 2015
GE Measurement & Control’s high performance temperature calibrators provide high accuracy, stable temperature reference to help achieve optimum operation of temperature sensors and instrumentation.
The calibrators are the latest additions to GE’s integrated calibration and communication solutions platform and are designed for use throughout the process, industrial, oil and gas, power generation, pharmaceutical, food and beverage and general engineering sectors.
When used in conjunction with a multi-function calibrator, such as GE’s Genii, an instrument technician can cover more than 80% of all calibration tasks, including those relating to HART and Fieldbus devices, with just two portable instruments.
The series includes four, easy-to-use temperature calibrators: two Dry Blocks; and two Liquid Baths.
The Dry Block calibrators cover a temperature range of -35oC to 650oC.
They incorporate the latest metal block and electronic control technology to achieve accuracy to 0.2oC with a stability of 0.05oC and rapid heating and cooling to improve productivity. They offer a choice of precision-bored, interchangeable well inserts to accommodate a wide range of test devices.
The Liquid Bath temperature calibrators cover a temperature range of -35oC to 255oC.
They feature a large capacity bath to accept irregularly shaped or multiple devices.
The large capacity bath can be removed to allow a new bath to be inserted if the heating fluid needs to be changed. The bath has a leak-proof cover for transportation.
With a stability of 0.05oC and accuracy to 0.1oC, these versatile temperature calibrators are multifunctional and can be used as a black body source and as a Dry Block with interchangeable inserts.
“These high performance temperature calibrators offer true accuracy, without the need of a reference probe, as the accuracy specified takes into account all the sources of inaccuracy, which must often be considered additionally with competitive calibrators,” said Michael Shelton, product manager at GE.
