How does the AMETEK RTC157 Reference Temperature Calibrator's Dynamic Load Compensation System guarantee temperature uniformity when multiple sensors are calibrated simultaneously?
AMETEK's Dynamic Load Compensation (DLC) system for RTC157 reference temperature calibrators is a key technology that ensures good temperature uniformity inside the sleeve by compensating for the negative impact of heat exchange between the dry-block calibrator and the sensor under test on calibration accuracy. When the sensor is inserted into a dry-body calibrator, the size (diameter and length) of the sensor and the difference between the calibration temperature and the ambient temperature create an axial gradient deviation inside the sleeve. The DLC system guarantees the accuracy of the calibration results by implementing compensation measures inside the casing to maintain temperature uniformity even when multiple large sensors or multiple sensors are calibrated at the same time.The design of the DLC system allows the calibrator to calibrate large diameter sensors without sacrificing accuracy, and can be adjusted in real-time during the calibration process in response to changes in sensor load. This dynamic adjustment mechanism ensures that the stability and uniformity of the temperature field are effectively maintained, even under variable calibration conditions.
In this way, AMETEK RTC157's DLC system not only improves the efficiency of simultaneous calibration of multiple sensors, but also ensures that each sensor can be calibrated in a highly consistent temperature environment, which is critical for accurate temperature measurement and control.
Finally, AMETEK RTC157 Reference Temperature Calibrators are an essential tool in the field of precision temperature measurement and control due to their highly specialized technical features that provide reliable calibration services in a variety of complex industrial environments.
