Isotech Innovation
We have been providing calibration solutions for more than 30 years, from Primary Standards
for National Metrology Institutes through to handheld calibrators for
service engineers.

Our portable calibrators have set a number of world firsts, the first Dry Blocks to
feature an independent inbuilt temperate indica­tor and the first Dry Blocks to reach
-100°C. The award winning ISOCAL-6 was the first calibrator to offer both Dry
Block and Liquid Bath use. It remains the only device to offer six modes of
calibration.

Isotech Dry Block Range - expanded


and upgraded
n New Rugged Lightweight Outer Cases
n Custom moulded components brings lighter and stronger
Portable Calibrators
n New ADVANCED model - more features than ever before

The Advanced Models include automatic temperature cycling which


saves time and money with the calibrator automatically logging data
over a series of calibration points

The company is always willing to give technical advice and assistance where appropriate.

Equally because of the programme of continual development and improvement, we reserve the
right to amend or alter characteristics and design without prior notice.

Isotech Portable Calibrators
Available in three different versions
Isotech calibrators are available in three different versions; they all feature the same rugged casing with award winning
calibration volumes. The range of features varies with the ADVANCED offering extra performance in terms of resolution
and temperature stability. All models have common block sizes, interchangeable options and benefits to bring calibration
volumes with superior temperature uniformity and capacity for industrial probes.

Point System and for low temperatures a Stirred Ice Bath.

Metal Block Bath


A Metal Block Bath, (Dry Block Calibrator) provides fast and
clean calibration of thermocouples, PRTs and other industrial
temperature sensors. Isotech blocks use a combination of
multi zone and advanced materials technology to ensure
constant temperature zones to enable high accuracy
calibration. Interchangeable 35mm diameter blocks allow
several sensors to be calibrated simultaneously with fast heat
up and cool down. For larger probes blocks are available up
to 65mm diameter and with immersion depth of up to 300mm.
An unmatched combination of leading performance and
calibration capacity.

Stirred Liquid Bath


Remove the metal block and the Isocal-6 can be converted
to a stirred liquid bath. Liquid bath operation allows angled
or awkward shaped probes to be calibrated. Accuracies are
improved over Dry Blocks alone and with a suitable reference
probe performance of 0.005°C is achievable. In stirred liquid
bath mode a reference probe should be used.

Stirred Ice / Water Bath


The ISOCAL-6 models that operate below 0°C can be used to
provide a 0°C stirred ice / water bath. This provides a simple
low cost way of checking that standards have not drifted in
between calibrations.

6 | THE NEW ADVANCED, BASIC & SITE RANGE


http://www.isotech.co.uk/industrial/

Blackbody Source
Adding the blackbody target allows the testing of infrared
thermometers. Low cost non-contact IR thermometers are
increasingly being used in industry and the ISOCAL-6 is
ideal to test and check these devices. The IR thermometer is
focused on the target and compared to a reference probe in
the block pocket.

5 Surface Sensor Calibrator


With the Surface Sensor Kit the test sensor is compared to
a platinum resistance thermometer located just below the
surface of the block. Again save the cost of buying additional
equipment by adding accessories as required to expand the
ISOCAL-6 for new calibration applications.

ITS-90 Fixed Point Apparatus


For the best possible performance with uncertainties to
0.0005°C (0.5mK) add an ITS-90 Fixed Point Cell. The most
popular is the B8 Water Triple Point Cell, it is surprisingly
affordable and simple to use - the triple point can be both
created and maintained in the apparatus without the need for
any other equipment or supplies.

The Hyperion and Drago have large calibration volumes,


65mm x 160mm deep, which makes them ideal to use as
portable liquid baths. Stirred liquid baths are suitable for
temperature sensors of all types, sizes and shapes. Liquid
Baths can provide smaller calibration uncertainties than dry
blocks and when used with suitable reference thermometers,
accuracies of up to 0.005°C can be achieved.
These models are part of the award winning Isocal-6 family
and with a reference probe can be used with different
accessories for Dry Block, Infrared, Surface Calibration and
even with ITS-90 Fixed Point Cells for uncertainties to
0.001°C. In Dry Block Mode, the large 65mm diameter
block allows for the calibration of either larger probes or for
calibrating many sensors simultaneously.
As a Liquid bath the sensors can be placed directly into the
stirred liquid thus avoiding the need for specially drilled
blocks. If the liquid is directly in the block then the controller

Temperature Cycling and Logging
Features of the ADVANCED models

Automatic Temperature Cycling


n Save Time
n Save Money
n Store up to 100 Programs

Calibration temperatures and dwell


times can be combined into ‘programs’
for the ADVANCED calibrator to follow,
up to 100 programs can be stored,
with each program having up to 25
segments.
Programs can be edited from the
front panel or on a PC with Set Point
Program Editor.
As the program runs all measurements
are recorded to the large internal
memory.
Automatic temperature cycling saves time and money with the calibrator automatically logging data over a series of
calibration points

There can be an offset between the


set temperature and the temperature
measured by a reference probe located
in the calibration block. Using the
‘Offset Elimination’ feature the block set
point is internally trimmed to match the
value of an external reference probe
connected to Channel 1.
