Druck Temperature Calibrators – dependable references for field, production & labs
Druck temperature calibrators provide traceable testing, adjustment and documentation for RTD/thermocouple sensors, measurement loops and indicators. Depending on the application, choose from dry-well calibrators, liquid/micro baths, surface calibrators and blackbody sources (IR).
Key capabilities (model-dependent) include fast ramping, excellent stability/homogeneity, interchangeable block inserts, external reference inputs, automated sequences and interfaces (USB/RS-485/Modbus/Ethernet) for QA/IIoT integration.
ICS Schneider Messtechnik supports instrument selection, uncertainty budgeting, ISO/DAkkS calibration, report workflows and integration with PLC/SCADA/cloud.
FAQ on Druck Temperature Calibrators
Answers on device types, stability/homogeneity, reference probes, inserts, sequences, IR/surface, uncertainty, documentation and safety.
Which device types are available?
| Type | Typical range | Strengths | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dry-well calibrators | ~ −35…+650 °C | mobile, clean, fast | service/production |
| Liquid/micro baths | ~ −80…+300 °C | best homogeneity | lab/QA |
| Surface calibrators | ~ 0…+450 °C | flat reference surface | surface probes |
| Blackbody sources (IR) | ~ −20…+1 000 °C | non-contact reference | IR thermometers |
What’s the difference between stability, homogeneity and accuracy?
- Stability: temporal fluctuation at the setpoint (e.g., ±0.02 K).
- Homogeneity/gradient: spatial differences within the block/medium (axial/radial).
- Accuracy: deviation vs. the true value including the reference and calibrator indication.
Why use an external reference probe?
It measures directly at the DUT, minimizing effects from load, coupling and gradients—essential for low uncertainty and audit-ready results.
Which block inserts/bores should I choose?
Use single- or multi-bore inserts. Select a bore diameter 0.2–0.5 mm larger than the probe OD; include a reference channel for repeatable reference positioning.
How deep should I immerse the probe?
Rule of thumb: 15–20× the probe diameter or until the sensing point is fully in the homogeneous zone; keep distance from the bore bottom/bath basket.
How does load (number/size of probes) affect results?
Higher load increases gradients and stabilization time. Reduce probe count, optimize bore layout, or use a bath for demanding cases.
Do Druck calibrators support automated sequences?
Yes—model-dependent sequences with ramps, dwell times and stability criteria for reproducible, time-saving workflows.
Which interfaces/protocols are available?
USB, RS-485/Modbus, and on some models Ethernet—for remote control, data capture and IIoT via gateways (e.g., MQTT/HTTPS).
How do I select calibration points?
Process-oriented: low/mid/high across the working range; consider 0 °C (ice point) and a point near the upper limit. For indicators, distribute points across the scale.
What should I consider with thermocouples?
Apply correct cold junction compensation, keep junctions isothermal, and run TC wires to the instrument (avoid dissimilar metals).
Tips for surface calibrations
Ensure flatness, defined contact force, a touch of thermal paste if appropriate, and shield from convection; the probe tip must fully contact the plate.
IR calibration with a blackbody—what matters?
Set emissivity (ε), respect D:S and focus, shield reflections; verify with a reference RTD where possible.
How do I build an uncertainty budget?
- Reference sensor (certificate/drift)
- Calibrator (stability/gradient/display)
- DUT (repeatability/hysteresis)
- Resolution/statistics
- Coupling/immersion/ambient effects
How do I document in an audit-ready way?
Log series with timestamp, set/actual, reference, load, operator and ambient; export CSV/PDF and store in a revision-safe system.
What software options are available?
PC software for remote operation, sequences, stability checks, pass/fail and report creation; interface cables/adapters available.
What safety rules apply in operation?
Mark hot surfaces, wear heat-protection gloves, ensure stable/ventilated setup, and never leave units unattended at high temperatures.
Maintenance & care of inserts/baths?
Keep bores clean, never use hard tools; change/cover bath fluids per manufacturer; replace inserts without stress to avoid distortion.
Calibration intervals for reference probes?
Rule of thumb annually; for critical processes every 6 months or after events (drop/overheat). Track drift over time.
Which accessories are useful?
Block inserts (single/multi-bore), precision Pt100/SPRT reference probes, surface plates, blackbody attachments, transport cases, holders/clamps, interface cables.
Do you provide selection, certificates & integration support?
Yes. We supply instruments preconfigured with factory or DAkkS calibration, prepare uncertainty budgets, define sequences and integrate with QA/IIoT.
