Benchtop temperature/pressure calibrator

September 2002 Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration

Spescom MeasureGraph is offering the new Fluke 525A temperature/pressure calibrator. The 525A offers the highest accuracy of any Fluke temperature calibrator in an economical benchtop package that includes an easy interface to automated calibration software.

This instrument may be used to calibrate other process calibration instruments, as well as a wide variety of other pressure instruments. The 525A sources volts, amps, and ohms for true multifunction adaptability. It provides precision measurement and simulation of SPRTs, PRTs, a host of industrial RTDs, as well as ANSI and international thermocouple types. Pressure measurements using Fluke 700 Series Pressure Modules make the Fluke 525A a good secondary pressure standard for industrial applications. Voltage sourced from the 525A is accurate to within 25 ppm (0,0025 %), precision that is said to rival other calibrators in this price range. Optional GPIB interface and full support from Fluke's MET/CAL Plus calibration and asset management software make the Fluke 525A a flexible, value-packed calibrator. The instrument is suitable for industrial instrumentation shops, secondary calibration labs, and ATE systems.

Customers demand an affordable, precision benchtop calibration system with higher accuracy in sourcing/measuring temperature than standard handheld process calibration tools. The 525A meets the demand for a versatile multifunction calibrator for performing bench repairs and calibration of process equipment and low-end process calibration tools. This frees higher-end 5500-type calibrators for more precision-dependent workloads.
