LARGO, FLORIDA – AMETEK Test & Calibration Instruments works continually to improve the performance, accuracy, convenience and functionality of its line of industry-leading advanced dry-block calibrators. Its latest additions—the JOFRA™ Professional Temperature Calibrators (PTC) Series--offer a wide range of innovative features along with AMETEK’s long history of providing reliable, low-drift calibration instruments.
The PTC Series has been specifically designed to provide an intuitive easy-to-use interface. That has been combined with the well known high accuracy and stability of the JOFRA calibrators. Among the features incorporated within the PTC Series is AMETEK’s active dual heating zone system that provides high temperature uniformity in the insert no matter the number or size of the sensors immersed. The calibrators also offer unique intelligent sensors for plug ‘n’ play connectivity, an easy-to-read full-color VGA display and a USB connection for improved communications and software downloads.
An optional reference sensor measures the temperature in the calibrator’s insert and provides feedback to an active dual-zone temperature system that compensates for the temperature differences resulting from testing various sensors. This allows the PTC Series calibrator to perform highly accurate temperature calibrations with varying sensor sizes and even with multiple sensors under test.
The PTC Series also includes a newly designed STS-150 (Superior Temperature Standard) reference sensor that is angled at 90 o and customized so the top of the sensor is only slightly higher than the top of the calibrator. This unique design makes it possible for the PTC Series to calibrate threaded sensors and sensors with connection heads. The STS-150 sensor contains all individual calibration data regarding the sensor, allowing users to change the reference sensor and be up and running immediately.
AMETEK offers three versions of the PTC Series: the PTC-155 covers a temperature range of -25o to 155oC (-22o to 311oF), the PTC-350 covers a higher temperature range of 33o to 350oC (91o to 662oF), while the PTC 660 handles temperatures ranging from 33o to 660oC (91o to 1220oF). Along with a wide temperature range, PTC calibrators have increased heating and cooling speeds, making them even more versatile and cost effective.
Each version is available in three models: PTC-A professional temperature calibrator, PTC-B professional temperature calibrator with input for a reference sensor and sensor-under-test, and PTC-C professional temperature calibrator with input for reference sensors. All models come with AMETEK JOFRACAL proprietary software package as standard.
PTC Series calibrators are rugged, light weight and available with a highly functional carrying case for improved portability and convenience. A specially designed carrying case makes it possible to store and protect reference sensors, inserts, support rods, wires, manuals, plugs and insert tools. In addition, they are part of a comprehensive line of pressure, temperature, and force-measurement and calibration products marketed by AMETEK under the CHATILLON®, JOFRA™, LLOYD™, and MANSFIELD & GREEN™ brand names.
AMETEK Test & Calibration Instruments is among the world’s leading manufacturers of calibration instruments, scales, material and force testing, and hardness testing equipment and a unit of AMETEK Measurement & Calibration Technologies, a division of AMETEK, Inc., a leading global manufacturer of electronic instruments and electromechanical devices with annual sales of $2.5 billion.
