Key Features:

  • High Accuracy: Both models offer exceptional accuracy and stability, making them suitable for demanding calibration applications.
  • Wide Temperature Range:
    • 5608: -200°C to 500°C (80 mm minimum immersion)
    • 5609: -200°C to 670°C  (100 mm minimum immersion)
  • ± 0.01 short-term stability
  • Calibration not included, NVLAP-accredited calibration optional, lab code 200348-0
  • Dry-well reference with 90 ° bend
  • Robust Construction: Designed to withstand harsh environments and provide reliable long-term performance.
  • Precise Manufacturing: Manufactured with meticulous attention to detail to minimize measurement uncertainties.
  • Calibration Traceability: Can be calibrated to national standards for traceable measurements.

Applications:

  • Calibration Laboratories: Used to calibrate other temperature sensors, such as RTDs, thermocouples, and thermistors.
  • Process Control: Monitoring and controlling temperature in critical industrial processes.
  • Quality Control: Ensuring product quality and consistency through precise temperature measurements.
  • Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Maintaining accurate temperatures is crucial for the stability and efficacy of pharmaceuticals.

The Fluke 5608 and 5609 are high-precision Secondary Standard PRTs that play a crucial role in establishing and maintaining accurate temperature measurements across various industries and scientific applications.

Calibration
[1] Includes short-term repeatability and 100 hr drift. Calibration will add additional uncertainties.

[2] Three thermal cycles from min to max temp, includes hysteresis, 99.9 % confidence (k=3)

[3]After 100 hours at max temp, 99.9 % confidence (k=3)

[4] Temperatures outside this range will cause irreparable damage. For best performance, transition junction should not be too hot to touch.

[5] Per ASTM E 644
