FAQs of THERMOCOUPLE CALIBRATION TEST RIG:
Q: How are thermocouples calibrated using this test rig?
A: Thermocouples are calibrated by immersing their sensing ends into the heated medium (air or oil bath) within the furnace, where the setpoint temperature is regulated by a PID controller. The rig allows up to four thermocouples to be tested simultaneously, with a reference thermometer included to verify accuracy. The temperature readings from the test thermocouples are compared against the reference thermometer, and discrepancies are noted for calibration adjustments.
Q: What safety features does the Thermocouple Calibration Test Rig offer during operation?
A: The rig incorporates several key safety features, such as ceramic wool insulation for the furnace, over-temperature protection to prevent overheating, and insulated wiring throughout the system. These measures ensure both user safety and equipment protection during each calibration cycle.
Q: When should the test medium be chosen as air versus an oil bath?
A: The choice between air and oil bath as the test medium depends on the target temperature range and desired thermal stability. Use air for lower temperatures and general calibrations, while oil bath is preferred for higher temperatures or when a more stable temperature environment is required during calibration.
Q: Where is this calibration rig best suited for use?
A: This equipment is ideal for use in heat transfer laboratory environments, particularly for academic, industrial, and research applications. Its robust design and comprehensive safety features make it suitable for manufacturers, exporters, and suppliers needing reliable temperature calibration in India.
Q: What process is followed to ensure high accuracy during thermocouple calibration?
A: The system employs a PID temperature controller to closely regulate furnace temperature, while a magnetic stirrer ensures uniform temperature distribution. A reference thermometer is used alongside digital and analog displays to monitor and verify readings, achieving a calibration accuracy of 1C.
Q: How many thermocouples can be calibrated at once, and what are the benefits?
A: The rig supports simultaneous calibration for 2 to 4 thermocouples, which increases throughput and efficiency in laboratory workflows while ensuring consistent test conditions for multiple sensors.
Q: What are the primary benefits of using this specific thermocouple calibration test rig?
A: Users benefit from high calibration accuracy, robust and durable construction, energy efficiency (1 kW power consumption), and user-friendly operation. The inclusion of a reference thermometer, digital/analog displays, and certified safety features enhances usability and ensures compliance with laboratory standards.
