Application areas

- in-situ-calibration of thermocouples or thermocouple

measuring systems by means of temperature fixed points

("selfcalibrating thermocouple")

- changeable insert for precision thermocouples (-> type SKTE)

or integrated part of industrial thermocouples

- recognition and correction of emf-drifts in restricetd access

areas

- improved measurement accuracy, reduced expenses for the

preventive replacement of sensors, longer calibration periods

in quality management systems
