1551A Ex Thermometer, Fixed RTD, -50 degrees-C to 160 degrees-C, 4.8 mm x 229 mm (3/16 in x 9 in)Finally, a digital substitute for your mercury-in-glass thermometers! Accurate and repeatable to +- 0.05 degrees-C over its full range, the 1551A/1552A 'Stik' Thermometer is the new 'gold standard' of industrial temperature calibration. Whether working outdoors in environments where potentially explosive gases may be present or on the floor of a processing plant, the intrinsically-safe, battery-operated, portable reference thermometer is designed to go where you work. Thermometer probe and digital readout combined into one unitThe stainless steel probe and digital readout are fixed together and calibrated as a system.
The accuracy specification is easy to understand since it includes all uncertainty components, including drift, for up to one year 1. The large backlit LCD display rotates 90degrees- making it easy to read from any angle. A user-configurable stability/trend indicator lets you know when your temperature is stable enough to record an accurate measurement. A user-settable auto-off function extends typical battery life to three hundred hours. A low-battery indicator and stop-measure function prevent erroneous measurements from being made due to low battery life. A simple three-point calibration function allows you to easily and accurately calibrate the 'Stik' Thermometer.
Data logging to internal memory of up to 10, 000 time-stamped measurements is optionally available. Why calibrate process temperature sensors? Because temperature greatly effects the accuracy of a volumetric measurement, process manufacturers of chemical, pharmaceutical, food or petroleum products require accurate temperature measurementsespecially for processes where quality or custody transfer are regulated by government agencies. Since all temperature sensors are subject to drift with time, regular calibration or verification
