AccuMac AM1710 is a Secondary Reference Platinum Resistance Thermometer (PRT). It acts as a “Reference Standard” for calibrating other temperature devices in both field and laboratory environments. It combines high-accuracy metrology performance with a robust design that withstands rigorous use.
1. Metrology-Grade Performance The AM1710 far exceeds standard industrial RTDs in precision and stability:
- High Accuracy: Delivers accuracy of < 0.012°C at the triple point of water (0.01°C), making it dozens of times more precise than standard industrial sensors.
- ITS-90 Compliant: Designed to meet global temperature metrology standards (ITS-90), utilizing high-purity platinum wire with a temperature coefficient (Alpha) of 0.003925.
- Long-Term Stability: Features extremely low drift (< 0.01°C/year), ensuring reliable measurements year-round without the need for frequent recalibration.
2. Rugged Engineering & Design Unlike fragile primary standards, the AM1710 is engineered to be “Field-Ready”:
- Shock & Vibration Resistance: Special internal structure and filling materials absorb impact, preventing calibration shifts caused by transport or accidental drops.
- Contamination Protection: Protects the platinum element from oxidation and contamination at high temperatures—the leading cause of drift in standard probes.
- Thermal Shock Balance: Excellent resistance to sudden temperature changes with very low Hysteresis (difference in reading between heating and cooling cycles).
3. Compatibility Flexible termination options ensure seamless integration with your existing equipment:
- Smart Connectors: Compatible with Additel 226 / 286 readouts, allowing the device to automatically recognize the probe’s coefficients.
- Generic Connectors: Available with bare wires, spade lugs, or various DIN plugs for use with third-party readouts.
4. Traceability & Calibration
- ISO 17025 Accredited: Each probe includes a calibration certificate from an accredited laboratory.
- Individual Coefficients: The certificate provides specific ITS-90 coefficients (R0, A, B, C, etc.) for entry into your readout to ensure maximum system accuracy.
