Description
MicroCal 1 Features
- 12 adjustable temperature points
- Allows frequent checking of thermometer accuracies
- Tests thermocouple type K, J, T, R, N, S & E thermometers
- 5-point UKAS Calibration Certificate included
The MicroCal 1 thermocouple simulator helps ensure that the frequent checking of thermometer accuracies is a routine operation. The calibrator is designed to simulate a chosen temperature to test thermocouple type K, J, T, R, N, S and E thermometers without the need for specialised equipment or conversion tables.
The MicroCal 1 features a custom 10mm LCD display with alpha-numeric display line to prompt the user when changing parameters. Selectable parameters include: °C/°F, auto power off – enable/disable, CJC – internal/external and display contrast adjustment.
An optional lead set is also available, that comprises of six leads, one for each thermocouple type K, J, T, N and E, plus one lead to cover Types R & S. Each PVC lead is one metre long and incorporates two miniature thermocouple plugs.
Each MicroCal is supplied with a one metre PVC type K thermocouple lead with miniature connectors and a five point (type K) UKAS Certificate of Calibration which indicates deviations from standards at the various points.
This unit should only be used with appropriate thermocouple instruments made to one of the following standards.
