Fluke Calibration 9173 Field Metrology Well | Accurate enough for lab use, and rugged and portable enough to take anywhere

9173 Metrology Wells. Now we’ve combined bath-level performance with dry-well functionality and legitimate reference thermometry to create Metrology Wells. Metrology Wells let you bring lab-quality performance into whatever field environment you might work in.

Features:

Best-performing industrial heat sources (accuracy, stability, uniformity) in the world

Immersion depth to 203 mm (8 in)

Optional ITS-90 reference input reads PRTs to ±0.006°C

Temperature range from –45°C to 700°C

Every once in a while, a new product comes around that changes the rules. It happened when we introduced handheld dry-wells. It happened when we introduced Micro-Baths. Now we’ve combined bath-level performance with dry-well functionality and legitimate reference thermometry to create Metrology Wells.

With groundbreaking new proprietary electronics from Fluke Calibration's (patents pending), Metrology Wells let you bring lab-quality performance into whatever field environment you might work in. New analog and digital control techniques provide stability as good as ±0.005°C. And with dual-zone control, axial (or “vertical") uniformity is as good as ±0.02°C over a 60 mm (2.36 in) zone. (That’s 60 mm!) Such performance doesn’t exist anywhere else outside of fluid baths.

In short, there are six critical components of performance in an industrial heat source (which the European metrology community explains, for example, in the document EA-10/13): calibrated display accuracy, stability, axial (vertical) uniformity, radial (well-to-well) uniformity, impact from loading, and hysteresis. We added a seventh in the form of a legitimate reference thermometer input and created an entirely new product category: Metrology Wells.
