SiS Sensoren Instrumente Systeme GmbH

PTM 4005 Precision Laboratory Temperature measuring instrument according to ITS 90 for -5 °C to +40 °C

PTM 4005 Photo The instrument serves for precise calibration of thermometers for oceanographic applications. It consists of a standard platinum resistance thermometer, a resistance measuring bridge, a highest grade resolving A/D-converter, a scanner unit and a computer with control- and display software. Measuring bridge, converter and scanner are placed in a common 19" desk top rack. The control system and data transmission from / to the computer is done via IEEE-488 interface.

Software

Customer specific changes, e.g. thermometers with other zero point resistance, against expenditure. Optional PLM conductivity unit for salinometry available.

According to ITS 90 the temperature between primary fix points is defined by the resistance of highest grade platinum resistance thermometers.
