Liquid bath / large diameter insert The RTC-158/250 are fitted with a 160 mm (6.3 in) deep well with a diameter of 63.5 mm (2.5 in) and can be used both as dry-block calibrators and as liquid calibration baths with a magnetic stirrer. A liquid bath and a dry-block diameter of 63.5 mm (2.5 in), which is twice the size of any other dry-block, are both new features. With these options, it is now possible to calibrate even more temperature sensors simultaneously and to calibrate large as well as odd sizes and shapes of sensors, which is not possible with the remaining product range. RTC-158/250 can be used without an external reference sensor, but if an STS-200 reference sensor is connected directly to a B or C version or the reference thermometer DTI-1000, you will obtain better accuracies and thereby use the full potential of the calibrators. 2 www.jofra.com Reference Temperature Calibrator • RTC-158/250 NEW! plug’n’play These inserts have holes for both the DLC and two reference sensors (4 mm and 1/4”).

The purpose of minimizing the weight of the RTC calibrator is to protect especially frequent users from overload. Improved temperature calibration Time is money! This is why all new RTC calibrators have an increased heating and cooling speed. Heating and cooling speed has been increased by up to 25%. The implication is savings in both production downtime and general calibra- tion costs.
