Using Test Specimen Fixtures
The temperature calibrators in the TP 17 / TP M / TP Multi series can be used with various
test device fixtures, depending on the model.
Configuration as a metal block calibrator, infrared calibrator, calibrator for surface sensors or
micro calibration bath is easily performed with minimal effort.
4.1 Metal block calibrator
Insertion sleeves with one or more boreholes are used for the calibration of straight tempera-
ture sensors.
In order to achieve the best possible accuracy, the utilization of exactly fitting sleeves is nec-
essary.
The diameter of the test specimen has to be determined precisely. The bore in the sleeve re-
sults from the addition of +0.5 mm.
Before use:
Using the sleeve changing tool, fit the ap-
propriate insertion sleeve in the block of
the calibrator.
After use:
Remove the sleeves after use with the aid
of the sleeve remover, and remember to
clean the sleeve and the block.
This prevents the sleeves becoming jam-
med in the heating block.
4.2 Infrared calibrator
A special infrared insertion sleeve is used for contactless infrared thermometers to enable
fast, easy calibration.
The hollow and specially constructed insertion sleeve is fit-
ted with two additional boreholes - for precise monitoring of
the temperature - in the rim (1 x 3.5 mm und 1 x 4.5 mm).
Before use:
The insertion sleeve is inserted into the block with the
aid of the sleeve remover.
After use:
Remove the sleeves after use with the aid of the sleeve
remover, and remember to clean the sleeve and the
block. This prevents the sleeves becoming jammed in
the heating block
The special construction and surface condition of the sleeve is such that it reaches emissivity
of 1 (black body). When using an infrared insertion sleeve, the measuring spot of the pyrome-
