FLUKE 9170 Series Metrology Well Calibrators

Best-performing industrial heat sources ( accuracy, stability, uniformity) in the world
Immersion depth to 203 mm ( 8 in)
Optional ITS-90 reference input reads PRTs to ± 0.006 ° C
Temperature range from – 45 ° C to 700 ° C

Every once in a while, a new product comes around that changes the rules. It happened when we introduced handheld dry-wells. It happened when we introduced Micro-Baths. Now we’ ve combined bath-level performance with dry-well functionality and legitimate reference thermometry to create Metrology Wells.

With groundbreaking new proprietary electronics from Fluke Calibration’ s ( patents pending) , Metrology Wells let you bring lab-quality performance into whatever field environment you might work in. New analog and digital control techniques provide stability as good as ± 0.005 ° C. And with dual-zone control, axial ( or “ vertical ” ) uniformity is as good as ± 0.02 ° C over a 60 mm ( 2.36 in) zone. ( That’ s 60 mm! ) Such performance doesn’ t exist anywhere else outside of fluid baths.

In short, there are six critical components of performance in an industrial heat source ( which the European metrology community explains, for example, in the document EA-10/ 13) : calibrated display accuracy, stability, axial ( vertical) uniformity, radial ( well-to-well) uniformity, impact from loading, and hysteresis. We added a seventh in the form of a legitimate reference thermometer input and created an entirely new product category: Metrology Wells.
