Temperature calibrators suit marine uses
Regular calibration brings optimum machine operation and efficiency, reduces unexpected repair and replacement and prevents turndowns of machinery.
Ametek Calibration Instruments' Jofra ATC series of dry block temperature calibrators is now certified to comply with the Det Norske Veritas' (DNV) Rules for Classification of Ships, High Speed and Light Craft and Det Norske Veritas' Offshore Standards The ATC series joins the Jofra MTC, CTC and ETC series of temperature calibrators and the FP-1800 series of marine sensors which already have DNV certification

Calibrators increase the pressure
Pressure calibrators keep existing characteristics but make it possible to connect different pressure modules in other ranges than the indicator, and achieve accuracies down to 0.01% full scale.
Two liquid bath calibrators have dual use
Two new liquid bath type calibrators can also be used as dry-block calibrators for applications such as gas or liquid filled probes, glass thermometers and multiple probes.
Fully certified ship-based temperature calibration not only fulfills safety regulations but brings a number of additional benefits.
These include traceability, energy saving and pollution reduction.
Regular calibration brings optimum machine operation and efficiency, reduces unexpected repair and replacement and prevents turndowns of machinery.
The ATC series of calibrators offers a wider temperature calibration range (-90 to +650C) and improved stability (+0.01C over a 12-month period for most models) for marine calibration.
It uses innovative dual-zone heating technology for precision calibration of sensors.
Independent heating control allows the lower zone to ensure optimum heat dissipation throughout the entire calibration zone, while the upper zone compensates for heat loss from the sensor-under-test and the open top.
This design also eliminates the need for insulation of the sensors-under-test and allows calibration of liquid- filled and other mechanical sensors.
