Pt100 Model M Medium Temperature Precision Thermometers
Precision resistance thermometer with thin metal sheath and extra small ceramic detector. This eXacal thermometer was developed to determine radial and vertical temperature profiles.
- Temperature range: -50 °C to 230 °C
- small measurement uncertainties: between 5 mK and 10 mK
- fast measuring times due to thin detector
- good heat connection due to small measuring resistance
- optimal for the determination of vertical temperature gradients
This eXacal thermometer was developed to determine vertical and radial temperature profiles in calibration equipment as part of the measurement uncertainty. This is required in several directives, such as the german DKD-R 5-4 “Calibration of dry-well calibrators”, DKD-R 5-3 “Calibration of thermocouples” or DKD-R 5-1 “Calibration of resistance thermometers”. The thermometer is also suitable for measuring and setting heating zones on calibration furnaces. Of course, the thermometer can also be generally used for accurate temperature measurement.
Calibration
eXacal thermometers are calibrated in our own DAkkS calibration laboratory. The DAkkS accreditation ensures that all calibrations are traceable to national and international standards.
The calibration of eXacal resistance thermometers is carried out at ITS-90 fixed points. It is also possible to carry out calibrations according to the comparison method in liquid baths and calibration furnaces. The measurement uncertainty is calculated from many components. The largest contributions are the reproducibility, ITS-90 function, self-heating and hysteresis.
Uncertainty of measurement
The configurable DAkkS calibration includes a 3-point DAkkS comparison calibration. This ensures basic traceability. Depending on the design, the thermometers can also be calibrated with smaller measurement uncertainties at fixed temperature points.
