Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

Q1: What is a dry block calibrator and why should I use one?

A1: A dry block calibrator is a portable furnace used to calibrate temperature sensors (like RTDs and thermocouples) by providing a stable and accurate temperature environment. You insert the sensor into a pre-drilled well in the metal block. They are highly valued for their speed, stability, and ease of use compared to traditional liquid baths, especially for field calibrations.

Q2: What types of sensors can the CALFAST 350 calibrate?

A2: The CALFAST 350 is ideal for calibrating various types of RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors) and Thermocouples that operate within its 50°C to 350°C range. The standard insert with multiple bore sizes accommodates common sensor diameters.

Q3: Why is an accredited calibration certificate important?

A3: An accredited calibration certificate assures that the calibrator's performance has been verified against national or international standards by a competent, independently audited laboratory. This provides traceability and confidence in your measurements, essential for quality assurance and regulatory compliance.

Q4: How does the RS-232 interface help with calibration?

A4: The RS-232 port allows you to connect the CALFAST 350 to a computer running specific calibration software. This enables automated calibration routines, logging of data, and generation of reports, significantly reducing manual effort, improving efficiency, and ensuring consistent documentation.

Q5: What is the significance of "Stability" and "Radial Uniformity"?

A5:

• Stability (±0.05°C): Refers to how well the calibrator can maintain a set temperature over a period (15 minutes in this case) without drifting. Higher stability means more reliable and consistent readings.
• Radial Uniformity (±0.2°C): Refers to the temperature variation across different holes or positions within the dry block insert. Good uniformity ensures that all sensors inserted into the block are exposed to the same, accurate temperature.
