Accurate temperature measurement is essential
for maintaining product quality, process eciency,
regulatory compliance and operational safety in
industrial processes. High performance, stable
temperature sources are the solution for achieving
optimal performance of temperature sensors and
process instrumentation, by providing reference
temperatures for checking and calibrating
these devices. The GE Dry Block and Liquid Bath
Temperature Calibrators provide solutions for testing
temperature devices over a range of temperatures
from -35°C to 650°C (-30°F to 1200°F) with a choice
of dry block and liquid bath congurations to
accommodate virtually any type, shape and size of
sensor.
The design philosophy is one of simplication, that is,
simplifying the complex arts and skills of temperature
calibration to provide instrument technicians with a highly
accurate, yet simple to use temperature reference.
• Calibrated to EA-10/13 (European Co-operation for
Accreditation Guidelines on the Calibration of Dry Block
Calibrators) ensuring high accuracy without the necessity
of a reference probe!
• Quick and easy touch screen setting and set point
memory recall
• Dry block and liquid bath congurations with multi use
options for switching between dry, liquid and infra-red
well inserts
• Accommodates anything from unique probe sizes to
irregular shapes and provides a massive 60mm x 170mm
capacity for simultaneously testing multiple sensors
DryTC 165 and DryTC 650
These dry block calibrators incorporate the latest metal
block and electronic control technology and oer a choice
of precision bored well inserts to accommodate a wide
range of test devices. Two models are available:
• DryTC 165 generates temperatures from Room
Temperature (RT) to 165°C
• DryTC 650 generates temperatures from ambient to
650°C.
Both models provide high accuracy, excellent set point
stability and rapid heating and cooling times.
• Temperature range from Room Temperature (RT to 650°C)
• Accuracy from ±0.2°C
• Stability 0.05°C
• Rapid heating and cooling
• Light weight and robust for eld use
• Choice of interchangeable well inserts
• Easy to set-up and use
Dry well insertion sleeves
Dry block calibrators greatly simplify the test and
calibration of process sensor heads, probes, switches and
thermometers, but optimum performance relies on a good
t of the device in the well insert. To facilitate this, a range
of insertion sleeves are available with hole diameters to suit
the most common probes and devices.
LiquidTC 165 and LiquidTC 255
These multi-purpose calibrators combine the portability of
dry block calibrators with the exibility of liquid immersion
baths to enable the testing and calibration of virtually
any shape and size of devices. The calibrators can be re-
congured by the user to function as a liquid bath, as an
infrared black body source and as a dry block calibrator
with interchangeable inserts. The latest heating and
electronic control technology, combined with continuous
liquid agitation of the uid bath, provide high accuracy and
stability throughout the large homogeneous measuring
zone. The calibrators are factory congured as liquid baths
and are provided with a bath cover to hold up to 5 devices
while reducing heat loss from the surface of the liquid
medium. For transportation a leak-proof sealing cover is
also provided as standard. Optionally the temperature
calibrators can be congured with additional capabilities
including interchangeable liquid baths, a black body
source and dry block interchangeable inserts. Two models
are available:
• LiquidTC 165 generates temperatures from Room
Temperature (RT) to 165°C
• LiquidTC 255 generates temperatures from ambient to
255°C
• Temperature range from Room Temperature (RT to
255°C)
• Accuracy from ±0.2°C
• Stability 0.05°C
• Large bath for irregular and multiple devices
• Multi-purpose – liquid bath, black body source, dry block
• Interchangeable bath – simplies uid changes
• Light weight and robust for eld use
• Leak-proof bath cover for transportation
High capacity portable liquid bath
Standard factory conguration provides a
60 mm x 170 mm liquid bath with automatic liquid
agitation.
Interchangeable liquid bath inserts
Allows the calibration media to be simply and quickly
changed to suit dierent temperature ranges, while
retaining the automatic liquid agitation.
Infra-red black body source
A specially constructed insertion sleeve provides an
emissivity of 1 (black body).
Dry well insertion sleeves
For the convenience of a dry block calibrator a range of
insertion sleeves are available with hole diameters to suit
most common probes and devices.
Dry block and liquid bath
general features
Controller OFF – disables automatic temperature control
at the last set point temperature to allow the calibrator
settings to be changed part way through a test.
Manual control – allows the power output of the
calibrator to be adjusted to control the rate at which the
calibrator reaches the set-point temperature.
Set-point memory – allows up to four set-point
temperatures to be stored in memory. The test sequence
can then be activated with a single key press.
Test prole – this function denes a temperature prole
with a heating rate to the rst set-point value, a test
duration or soak time at set-point one followed by a
cooling rate to a second set-point.
PC communications -An optional USB cable is available
for connection to a PC.
