Excellent Uniformity
Precision calibration of thermometers calls for the use of
stirred liquid calibration baths. The Hydra models set new
standards in terms of price to performance ratio. Now
Calibration Engineers and Metrologists can choose from
a range of baths that offer good immersion depth, parallel
tube action, giving the best uniformity and smallest
calibration uncertainties, and wide temperature ranges.
Hydra offers these features in a new price class, dont
settle for a bath with shallow immersion or simple stirred
action when with these Isotech baths provide good depth
of immersion and good temperature uniformity along with
the other benefits Isotech baths offer.
The immersion depth of 300mm allows the requirements
of Supplementary Information to the ITS-90 to be met.
This publication from BIPM recommends immersion
depths of 15 to 20cm from -50C to 50C, and from 20 to
27cm at 200C. Many baths in this price range are simply
not deep enough to meet this requirement. Rather than
simply stirring a square tank of liquid the Hydra uses
parallel tube action for superior temperature uniformity.
Like other Isotech liquid baths the calibration volume is
cylindrical to suit thermometers, not a large square tank.
The bath is filled with just 5 litres of liquid reducing filling
and ongoing cost of ownership as liquids are replenished.
The 798H and 798EHT feature a cooling coil which can
be attached to an external source of either cold water or
gas to further reduce cool down times.
Hydra benefits from Isotechs experience, it drains faster,
is easier to use, is safer, and is more convenient.
Accessories allow a wide range of thermometers, for
example, to be readily clamped by the Sensor Support
and ITS-90 fixed points cells are accommodated with the
adjustable cell holder.
g Parallel
g Cooling...
g Commercial
Liquid flows up the rear volume of the
bath and down the working volume.
This action creates very small vertical
and axial gradients. This gives the
smallest overall uncertainties.
The cooling is built-in and also
surrounds the calibration volume
creating a low temperature ambient in
which the heater can function
efficiently.
The chillers are one third horse power
commercial grade units, not cheaper
domestic grade as used by some
manufacturers.
g Heating...
g Wider
All heating is outside the container. By
using a large area nickel foil heater the
complete bath wall is heated uniformly.
A unique cooling system cools the
unit as well as enabling the bath to
heat up to 125C (121C is a key
sterilization temperature).
Double the depth of some baths. The
Hydra Range has up to 300mm depth
of immersion.
