Good insulation resistance in a metal sheathed platinum resistance thermometer (PRT) probe is important for obtaining accurate and stable temperature measurements. If a probe is cycled frequently between hot and cold temperatures, its components become fatigued over time, and moisture can leak through the sheath seal at the probe handle. This is a common cause of decreased insulation resistance and noisy measurements.Cold temperatures allow moisture to leak through the sheath seal into the probe’s...

Temperature measurement is a critical parameter in many industrial processes. As a result, these processes generally use installed thermometers or temperature transducers. Proper calibration of these installed systems has always presented a challenge. Traditionally, simulators are used to provide in-situ calibration of the electronic portions of these systems. Although this is a valid technique for the calibration of the electronics, considerable inaccuracies are introduced by the sensor itself.The...

The triple point of water (TPW) is the only thermometric fixed point used in definitions of both the thermodynamic temperature and the international temperature scale. It is undoubtedly the most important fixed point in thermometry. Some results from the international comparison of TPW cells undertaken a few years ago found differences among TPW cells as large as 0.1 mK or more. This is why we started working to improve the quality of our TPW cells about four years ago.As we know, impurities in the...

One can make an argument that using a pressure controller such as the 6270A or the 2271A, which you command to set a desired test pressure and maintain it without manual interaction, is automation. Beyond this, you can reap many additional benefits by automating more of the process using calibration software.

The first version of MET/CAL that I saw was version 0.86 – it was a pre-release. I was working at the Fluke/Philips service center from 1990 to 1994, here in Holland. In the beginning of the 90’s in this lab they started using MET/CAL, starting on very simple PCs, now it is one of the most advanced labs in using MET/CAL.

When does height equal pressure? Well the simple answer is it doesn't, but more on that later. A less simple answer is that height based pressure unit standards for manometers have evolved significantly over time.
