Quality Dened
It is not easy to make a good quality reference sensor. The main requirement of a reference sensor
is stability. This means minimal drift as a function of operating time at the actual temperature. The
less the sensor drifts, the lower the measurement uncertainty.
Standard Diameter — Fast Response
The STS-100 A/B series has a relatively small diameter: STS-100 A is 4 mm / 0.16 in, and STS-100 B is
6.35 mm / 0.25 in. This leaves optimum space for sensors-under-test in the dry-block, and ensures
a fast response time. A fast reacting sensor will optimize the measurement information.
Reduced Hysteresis and Drift
The sensing element is comprised of a pure plat-
inum coil. This coil is suspended in a way that
minimizes stress and ensures a near zero hysteresis value.
The main reason for drift within a sensor assembly is impurities within the element, especially at
temperatures above 350° C (660° F). All internal parts must be cleaned thoroughly. AMETEK has
developed a unique cleaning method for the internal bore of the Inconel® sheath. The platinum
sensor is embedded within an ultra-clean, temperature resistant ceramic; and assembly of the
components is performed in a clean room. These precautions ensure minimum contamination of
the element during use, and provide the user with the best possible performance.
Aging /Annealing
Once the sensors are assembled, they are subjected
to a long approval process. This includes mechani-
cal stress reduction of the entire assembly as well
as aging the sensor element itself. The purpose of
aging the sensor is to remove the initial drift.
The procedure involves heating the sensor up to 650° C (1202° F) and holding it for 1 hour before
cooling down. This process is repeated over a period of several days. The resistance is then mea-
sured at 0° C (32° F) and recorded. The sensor is again heated up to 650° C (1202° F), and this time
the temperature is held constant for 100 hours.

Time
Finally the output from the sensor is again measured at 0° C (32° F) and recorded. The dier-
ence between the rst and second measurement is recorded. The dierence between these two
measurements is our verication of the stability qualities of the sensor. To be accepted for nal
calibration and certication, the sensor must meet our minimum tolerance, which we document
in a quality certicate.
Reduced Isolation — Resistance-Error
Electrical isolation resistance (parasite-resistance-error) when measured at the highest operat-
ing temperature should be as high as possible. A low isolation resistance would cause the output
signal to be incorrect in relation to the temperature. JOFRA STS-100 A/B series sensors meet the
IEC-751 requirements of isolation resistance by several hundred percent.
The Final Quality-Certificate-Check
Upon completion of every certicate, after nal calibration of the sensor, examination and ap-
proval cycles are performed according to our established procedures. The critical verication is
to ensure that the dierence between the initial and the nal 0° C (32° F) measurement on the
certicate meets our minimum tolerance. These requirements are based on a vast amount of data,
which has been evaluated statistically. This value indicates if the sensor has a sucient long-term
stability. We also check that the linearization coecients have values that correlate to an accept-
able curve sequence in accordance with our requirements.
Certification
The nal documentation on sensors is the calibration certicate. JOFRA sensors have the follow-
ing calibration options.
Accredited Certificate (Standard) Traceable to the European Accreditation Organization.
Temperature range from -45 to 650° C (-49 to 1202° F).
The certicate contains a minimum of 6 temperature points starting and ending at 0° C (32° F).
The certicate also contains calculated linearization coecients.
Delivery Without Certificate — Annealed Only (Optional) In some cases, the customer
may prefer to calibrate the sensor themselves. It is possible to purchase the sensor without any
certication. We do not recommend this option because we are not able to complete the nal
“quality-certicate-check.”

ence sensor placed in a JOFRA RTC 156

sanitary sensor has been tted into the
insert and is ready for calibration. Note
that the design makes room for the
reference sensor cable.
Specications
For sanitary sensor calibra-
tion, JOFRA has also designed
a special cable type reference
sensor, the STS-102 A. Due
to the small size and exible
connection, the design per-
mits positioning of the sensor
throughout the depth of the
well in a dry-block, eg. under
a sanitary ange.
The reference sensor must be
placed at the same level and in parallel with the sensor-under-test
as indicated in the illustration above. The illustration shows cali
bration of a sanitary sensor. The sensor is in contact with the insert.
