SIKA TP Solid Series – rugged all-round temperature dry-wells for shop & field
SIKA TP Solid combines high heating/cooling power, good stability/uniformity and simple operation in a tough housing—ideal for maintenance, commissioning and QA in production and service.
Highlights (model-dependent): fast ramps, stable dry-well block with interchangeable sleeves/inserts, external reference input (PRT/RTD), ramp/soak, auto stability check, USB/LAN connectivity and a compact, field-friendly form factor.
ICS Schneider Messtechnik supports model selection, sleeve/adapter design, procedures, uncertainty budgeting and provides optional factory/DAkkS certificates for the calibrator and reference probes.
FAQ on the SIKA TP Solid Series
Answers on use cases, performance, sleeves, reference probes, stability, documentation and best practices.
Where does TP Solid make the most sense?
For everyday calibrations of RTD/PRT, thermocouples and thermistors in the workshop and in the field when you need speed, ruggedness and repeatability.
How is TP Solid positioned vs. Basic and Premium?
Basic = entry & portable, Solid = all-rounder with more power/robustness, Premium = high-end with multi-zone control and minimal uncertainties.
What typical performance can I expect?
| Criterion | TP Solid (typ.) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Stability | to ±0.02…0.05 °C | Depends on temperature/load |
| Uniformity | ≤0.05…0.1 °C | Mind insert and loading |
| Range | e.g., −35…+650 °C | Model dependent |
| Ramps | fast | ΔT, insert mass, load |
Why interchangeable sleeves/inserts?
They provide the correct bore for each sensor, separate reference and DUT, improve thermal coupling and enhance repeatability.
Which sleeve should I choose?
Bore = probe Ø + 0.1…0.2 mm with full-depth fit. Materials: aluminum/copper < 300 °C, Inconel/stainless at higher temperatures.
How much immersion depth is required?
At least 15–20× probe diameter or beyond the sensing element. For short probes use deep/extension sleeves and insulation caps.
Why use an external reference probe?
The block display may not equal the tip temperature. A PRT/RTD reference close to the DUT minimizes gradient and coupling errors.
Does TP Solid support ramp/soak and auto stability?
Yes. Ramp/hold profiles for hysteresis/sensitivity and stability windows (time/ΔT) for reproducible points are available (model-dependent).
How should I calibrate RTD/PRT correctly?
Use 4-wire measurement, low test current (limit self-heating), adequate stabilization time and proper cable strain relief.
What matters for thermocouples?
Enable cold-junction compensation or measure a reference CJC; ensure the hot junction is tightly coupled in the sleeve.
How can I improve repeatability in the field?
- Use precision sleeves with minimal clearance.
- Add an insulation cap and, if needed, a top clamp to limit convection/tilt.
- Fix a constant immersion depth with stop rings.
- Limit loading; place the reference close to the DUT tips.
Which interfaces/documentation are possible?
USB/LAN (some with Bluetooth), protocols/SCPI by model, and calibration software for as-found/as-left, point lists, PDF/CSV reports and full traceability.
What does a typical point plan look like?
For example −20/0/50/100/150/200 °C with a stability criterion (e.g., 60–300 s ≤±0.02…0.05 °C) and up/down runs for hysteresis checks.
What safety aspects apply?
Burn protection, stable placement, keep over-temperature protection active, use PPE; remove hot sleeves only with proper tools.
How often should I recalibrate?
General guideline is annually; more often for critical QA. After transport/service, perform an interim check (e.g., ice/fixed points).
Which accessories are useful?
Multi-hole sleeves, insulation caps, probe holders, reference PRT with indicator, mini-TC connectors, carry case and software.
Do you support selection & procedure design?
Yes—we size the model/temperature range, design sleeves, prepare templates (ramp/soak, stability), define the uncertainty budget and supply DAkkS/factory certificates.
