Precision Temperature

Calibrators
SIKA-Precision-Temperature-Calibrators Series TP 28OOO
Calibration, adjustment and inspection
under real conditions
Introduction
Thermometers, thermocouples and other
temperature sensors are subjected to
mechanical, thermal and chemi cal
stresses which speed artificial
ageing. This is particularly true in
industrial use. However, since
temperature has become one of
the most important indicators of
quality, operational safety and
service life in an ever-increa sing
number of industrial processes,
the on site calibration of
temperature sensors has taken on
special significance.
Temperature sensors must be
inspected, adjusted and calibrated
before use in testing stations and
development laboratories.
The aim of SIKA engineers when
they developed the series TP 28
000 precision cali brators was to
develop an easily transportable,
robust and accurate calibrator for
as many applications as possi ble.
As a user, you can now choose
between three models with varying
temperature ranges, heating block
materials and block bores to
enable you to perform your
calibration, adjustment and
inspection tasks under ideal
conditions.
Technology
The series TP 2 8 0 0 0 calibration units
operate with an electronically controlled
heat-able and cool-able aluminum or brass
block (depending on the temperature
range). The block has one or three holes f o r
holding the test pieces. The block
temperature is programmed via push
buttons and can be accurately set to 1 / 1 O K .
Alternatively, the block temperature or the
temperature measured on the test
piece is displayed on the 4 1 / 2 - d i g i t
digital display with a resolution of 1 / 1 0 K .
The switchable sensor input allows
calibration, adjustment and inspection of
resistance thermometers, standard
thermocouples, temperature switches
and thermostats. Thermometers are
inspected by comparing the temperature
read
off on the test piece with the block
temperature (digital display).
Laboratory accuracy
The accuracy of the heating block
temperature is the most important
performance criterion of a temperature
calibrator. Thanks to the use of a newly
desi gned microprocessor-controlled PID
controller, it is now possible to increase
significantly the temperature accuracy of
the SIKA calibrators compared with
units with conventional analog
controllers. The controller, which reacts
to the slightest temperature deviations
and control circuit interference in a quasi
intelligent manner, is able to stabilize the
heating block temperature to+/-0, 1 K.
Monitoring testing
equipment in
accordance with DIN
ISO 9 0 0 1 . . . 9OO3
The SIKA calibrators can be
supplied optionally with a
certificate of the German
Calibration Service (DKD) or a
SIKA Works Certificate.
This allows the user to monitor
quality assurance testing
equipment as required by DIN
ISO 9001. . . 9003.
Special Types
Parallel Test
(TP 28 200 7600)
Instruments with an integral
scanner can be supplied f o r
the parallel test of sensors.
Together with our software
package an automatic parallel
test including test data logging
can be carried out.
Immersion Length (TP 28 200 / 600)
For dimension reasons (protection tube
etc. ) not all the sensors can be tested with
a standard immersion length of 100 mm.
With our special type with 200 mm
immersion however these sensors do not
cause any problems.
Measuring Transmitter
In order to test the temperature sensor
as well as the measuring transmitter in
one operation, the calibrators are
available with a so called standard signal
input (0-10 V or 0(4)... 20 mA). The
output is then displayed directly in °C.
