INTRODUCTION
Accurate temperature measurements can be assured only when it is possible physically
to produce a legitimate basis for establishing traceability to temperature standards.
By setting a series of different temperatures, the inserted sensor/ display/recorder can
be calibrated accordingly.
The model TRAQC-3 may be used for all temperature sensors, incl. RTD'S and
thermocouples and temperature switches.
The use of model TRAQC-3 offers a number of great advantages above alternative
methods of temperature calibration, but requires that any user reads the instruction
manual very carefully and is aware of the fact that high temperature has to be
handled with care and only in areas without hazardous fumes or fire risks and get
acquainted with all the facilities offered by this field temperature calibrator.
2.1.
Heating performance
The heating block is made from specially produced metal to achieve optimum heat
conductivity and is heated by resistance heating elements. The instrument is
electronically controlled and regulated with 2 push-buttons on the front panel.
The temperature is controlled by a precision platinum resistance thermometer (RTD
sensor) and an intelligent closed loop circuit.
2.2.
Control Performance
In order to provide optimum use of the TRAQC-3 all control functions are available
through a RS232 interface.
Tradinco AutoCal Software for using the TRAQC-3 with a PC is also available.
The MS Windows based software is completely 'MENU' controlled and allows the user to
program pre-fixed calibration routines and run calibration routines fully automatically.
