Model 5698 Working Standard SPRT


Hart Scientific, A Fluke Company, introduces its new Model 5698 Working Standard SPRT (standard platinum resistance thermometer) that provides true SPRT performance at a price much lower than competing models: $2,200.

The 5698 meets all ITS-90 ratio requirements for SPRTs and features a completely strain-free, 25-ohm, pure platinum sensor. Enclosed in a 19-inch quartz glass sheath, the 5698 covers temperatures from -200°C to 661°C. Long-term drift is specified at ±0.006°C after 100 hours at maximum temperature. Typical drift after the same experience is just ±0.003°C.

The 5698 was developed by Hart's Xumo Li and Mingjian Zhao, who have over 35 years combined experience developing thermometry and thermometer calibration standards.

Calibration options for the 5698 include both fixed-point and comparison calibrations by Hart Scientific. Hart's temperature calibration laboratory is NVLAP-accredited.

Also available from Hart are SPRT readout devices such as the Model 1590 Super-Thermometer II, which reads the 5698 accurately within 0.001°C at 0°C.

Availability of the 5698 is three weeks. Allow three additional weeks for calibration by comparison or five additional weeks for calibration by fixed-point, if calibration is desired.
