Priority Gold Instrument CarePlan
Make sure to ask your account manager about the Fluke Calibration Priority Gold CarePlan
A Fluke Calibration Priority Gold CarePlan puts you in control of your downtime and in control of your business, with calibration services and other offerings.
The temperature range of the 5616 covers –200 °C to 420 °C, and its high-purity platinum element and durability make it great for calibrating in the lab or in the field. When choosing a reference with a platinum element, there are two things you want to look at carefully: the short-term repeatability and the long-term drift. When PRTs are thermally cycled over their temperature range as they would be during a calibration, their resistance at the triple point of water can move up and down within an expected range. Fluke Calibration defines this range (called “short-term repeatability) as the repeatability at the triple point of water during three thermal cycles. 5616s are among the best performing in their class with short-term repeatability better than ± 0.010 °C (± 0.004 °C is typical). In addition, the 5616’s drift is ± 0.007 °C at the triple point of water when exposed up to its maximum temperature (420 °C) for 100 hours. These specifications are given at k=2 and therefore include a 95 % confidence level.
The 5616’s sealed ¬INCONEL® 600 sheath is 298 mm (11.75 in) long and 6.35 mm (0.250 in) in diameter. The probe’s PTFE-jacketed cable is made of silver plated copper that ends with four-wire leads, which eliminate the effects of lead-wire resistance on measurements. Use the 5616 with Fluke Calibration’s 1523 Handheld Reference Thermometer, 1524 Handheld Reference Thermometer, 1560 Black Stack, 1529 Chub-E4, or 1502A Tweener thermometer readouts.
Each sensor comes with a manufacturer’s report of calibration. The report includes the expanded uncertainty (k=2) at seven calibration temperature points, ITS-90 calibration coefficients, and a temperature vs. resistance table presented in 1 °C increments. Compare the 5616 to other Secondary Reference PRTs. You’ll like its price, but you’ll love its performance.
