With its excellent performance, wide range of applications and user-friendly user interface, the device occupies an important position in the field of temperature calibration. The RTC-168 is designed to meet the stringent requirements for temperature calibration in industrial, laboratory, and medical fields, especially in industries such as pharmaceutical, food safety, and environmental monitoring.
THE RTC-168 IS EXTREMELY VERSATILE AND CAPABLE OF CALIBRATING MANY TYPES OF TEMPERATURE SENSORS, INCLUDING HYGIENIC SENSORS, PRESSURE THERMOMETERS, TEMPERATURE SWITCHES, STANDARD STRAIGHT BAR SENSORS, AND THE TEMPERATURE SECTIONS OF PH METERS AND CONDUCTIVITY METERS. The equipment has been designed with the special requirements of hygienic sensors in mind and can calibrate hygienic sensors with large flanges up to a diameter of up to 84 mm, which is particularly important for applications in the pharmaceutical and food industries where strict standards of cleanliness are required. The RTC-168 is also capable of calibrating multiple temperature sensors at the same time, improving the efficiency of calibration.
The introduction of RTC-168 brought users a multifaceted benefit. First of all, its fast ramp and drop temperature capability and excellent temperature field uniformity ensure the high efficiency and precision of the calibration process, reduce the calibration time, and improve the production efficiency. Secondly, the equipment is designed with the user's convenience and safety in mind, such as the design of the liquid container and the protective cover with a pressure relief valve, which simplifies the switching between wet and dry modes and facilitates transportation and cleaning. In addition, the RTC-168's temperature control technology and optimized design of the stirring device reduce maintenance costs and extend the service life of the equipment. Finally, AMETEK's brand reputation and professional technical support provide users with reliable after-sales guarantee to ensure the long-term stable operation of the calibrator.
Designed for hygienic sensors in the pharmaceutical and food and beverage industries, it solves the challenges of traditional calibration processes, such as insufficient sensor length and large flanges.
A patent-pending calibration process has been introduced, increasing the speed and efficiency of calibration.
2. Improvement of liquid calibration system:
The redesigned liquid calibration system and faster magnetic stirrer extend the temperature uniformity zone, making it possible to calibrate even shorter hygienic sensors.
The removable liquid container design makes the transition from wet to dry calibration easier and cleaner.
3. Ability to support large flanges:
Capable of supporting hygienic sensors up to 84 mm in diameter, the RTC-168 provides a calibration solution for sensors with large flanges.
4. Portability and Security:
The liquid container is equipped with a screw cap with a built-in pressure relief valve, ensuring that the user's safety is protected in the event of an increase in pressure due to temperature or altitude changes during transport.
5. Dry Calibration Solutions for Hygienic Sensors:
Special dry calibration inserts are available specifically for hygienic sensors, as well as adapters for different models, to meet the needs of customers who prefer dry calibration.
6. Unique Air Flow System:
The industry's first bottom exhaust system avoids the effects of hot exhaust on the sensors under test, improving the accuracy of calibration.
7. High-Performance Reference Sensor:
The new IP68-rated interchangeable reference sensor STS-102A-035 for both dry and wet applications increases calibration flexibility and accuracy.
8. Fast heating time:
The total heating time from -22°C to 155°C is more than twice as fast as the previous JOFRA model, saving time and money.
9. Calibration of hygienic sensors in a temperature bath:
The innovative, patent-pending temperature calibration technology allows for high-precision wet calibration in the case of large-diameter, short hygienic sensors, simulating the sensor's daily use environment.
10. Dry configuration calibration of sanitary sensors:
Custom inserts, including cable trays, are available to allow the user to slide the new STS-102 A 035 reference sensor under the flange of the hygienic sensor for quick calibration.
11. Calibration of large sanitary sensors:
The RTC-168's large opening design accepts sensor flanges up to 84 mm in diameter, making it easier for the sensor's sensing element to reach the calibration area.
12. Standard Plug-in Adapter Support Investment:
The new plug-in adapter allows customers to reuse existing ATC/RTC-156 plug-ins without additional costs.
Combination of dry and liquid temperature bath calibration:
13. The RTC-168 provides a flexible choice of two calibration modes, whether dry or wet, to meet the needs of various sensors.
14. New liquid container design:
The new liquid container design makes switching from one calibration mode to another faster, safer and cleaner.
15. Dynamic Load Compensation (DLC) Technology:
The patented DLC system improves the accuracy of dry calibration, independent of actual loads, such as multiple sensors or very large sensors.
16. High Precision Temperature Calibrator:
The RTC calibrators use active dual-zone heating technology to control each heating zone independently, ensuring that the sensor sensing element is in the ideal calibration area.
17. Important RTC features:
Full-color display, intuitive menus, smart recalibration information, Set Follows True function, switch test, auto-stepping, custom stability indicator, storage settings, and more improve user experience and ease of operation.
18. Performance characteristics:
Fast temperature calibration, MVI power supply stability, sensor readout capability, silent operation, etc., improve calibration efficiency and accuracy.
