Dry well calibrators are the perfect solutions to use in laboratories. They are accurate, easy to use, inexpensive and thier portability allows them to be used in a variety of settings.
The name "dry block" refers to the metal block inside the calibrator that holds the temperature sensor, while its accuracy is being determined. The Mensor CTD9100-375 is the perfect example of a dry block temperature calibrator.
Automation in temperature calibration can reduce the number of steps that is taken in a normal calibration of a RTD, thermocouple or thermistor.
In temperature calibration, what is an axial gradient?
An axial gradient is the temperature difference, or temperature gradient, from the bottom (maximum immersion depth) to the top (surface of the calibrator).
In temperature calibration, what does stability mean?
Stability is the difference between the minimum and the maximum of fluctuating temperatures, taken over 30 minutes.
