Ametek introduces new temperature calibrators
August 2013
Temperature Measurement
Ametek Test & Calibration Instruments has introduced two new variants designed for applications that require either extreme cooling or high heat: the Jofra PTC-125 Cooler and RTC-159 Ultra Cooler calibrators. Both offer a host of innovative features, design improvements and a wide temperature range that makes them ideal for calibrating sensors used in food processing, pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications.
The PTC-125 is the latest addition to the professional temperature calibrator series. It offers a wide temperature range (-90 to 125°C) and features an intuitive easy-to-use interface. The RTC-159 is Ametek’s most advanced reference temperature calibrator with the widest available temperature range (-100 to 155°C).
Both PTC and RTC Series calibrators incorporate a highly efficient, free-piston Stirling cooler and feature improved heating and cooling speeds. The RTC-159 offers the fastest calibration. Its patented cooling technology allows the calibrator to fast cool to -80°C in 65 minutes. The PTC-125 achieves that temperature in 75 minutes.
RTC and PTC Series calibrators have large diameter inserts designed to calibrate large-sized or multiple sensors at once. The compact, rugged calibrators are easy to carry, weighing only 15 kilograms, making them the lightest and most portable cooler and ultra cooler calibrators on the market.
The RTC-159 features dynamic load compensation that provides perfect temperature uniformity in the insert no matter the number or size of the sensors immersed. Both of the calibrators also offer unique intelligent sensors for plug-n-play fail safe connectivity, an easy-to-read full-colour VGA display and a USB connection for improved communications and software downloads.
Both calibrators have a built-in reference sensor that offers high accuracy. However, users can obtain even better accuracies and realise the calibrator’s full potential by utilising the superior temperature standard reference sensor.
The STS-150 for PTC series calibrators and the STS-200 for RTC series calibrators contain all individual calibration data regarding the sensor, allowing users to change the reference sensor and be up and running immediately.
Both calibrators feature new multi-hole insert kits that cover most commonly known sensor sizes and a highly functional carrying case for improved portability and convenience. The specially designed carrying case makes it possible to store and protect DLC and reference sensors, inserts, support rods, wires, manuals, plugs and insert tools.
