Fluke 9190A-X-P-256 Field Metrology Well w/ Process Electronics & Disc

The Fluke 9190A-X-P-256 Ultra-Cool Field Metrology Well with Process Electronics and Selectable Disc Insert is an advanced version of Fluke’s 9190A-X-256 Ultra-Cool Field Metrology Well with Selectable Disc Insert.

Similarly, the Fluke 9190A-X-P-256 is also available in seven models which vary only with regards to their selectable disc inserts. Please see the table below for further details.

Like its sister product, the Fluke 9190A-X-P-256 is a cold temperature dry-block which functions as a practical and efficient alternative to calibration baths. It does not require any fluids to function thereby eliminating the risk of spillage or the emission of dangerous fumes. As a result, the Fluke 9190A-X-P-256 Ultra-Cool Field Metrology Well is suitable for use inside.

This instrument can be used to validate and calibrate RTDs, thermocouples, thermometers, and sensors used with process control equipment (e.g. medical freezers and sterilisers). The Fluke 9190A-X-P-256 Ultra-Cool Field Metrology Well is ideal for applications that require the user to abide by regulatory process, or which must comply with a strict quality control.

The Fluke 9190A-X-P-256 Ultra-Cool Field Metrology Well has a temperature range of -95°C to 140°C. Its integrated thermometer has an accuracy of ±0.05°C and it also features a full range display accuracy of ±0.2°C.This accurate and extensive temperature range ensures that the field metrology well is suitable for calibrating equipment within pharmaceutical, biomedical and food processing industries. In addition to this, the Fluke 9190A-X-P-256 includes FPSC technology which decreases the time taken to heat or cool to various temperatures. Its temperature cooling and heating times are as follows:

• 23 °C to –90 °C: 80 minutes
• 23 °C to –95 °C: 90 minutes
• 140 °C to 23 °C: 60 minutes

Furthermore, this product has a full range stability of ±0.015°C and features a stability indicator, ensuring that the user can clearly see when the dry-block is stable and within the limits defined by the user. As a result of these features, the Fluke 9190A-X-P-256 Field Metrology Well is both more stable and efficient than traditional calibration baths.

As the Fluke 9190A-X-P-256 Ultra-Cool Field Metrology Well has been built to be compliant with EURAMET cg-13 guidelines for best measurement practices, the following parameters, present on the 9190A-X-P-256, have been comprehensively tested and reliably defined:

• Accuracy
• Stability
• Axial (vertical) uniformity
• Radial (well-to-well) uniformity
• Loading
• Hysterics

As a result, the user can depend upon this instrument to provide him/her with accurate and stable temperatures. Indeed this instrument includes a number of features optimised to maintain this product’s accuracy and reliability, as well as its efficiency. Its dual heater zone both compensates for the differential temperature between zones and limits axial temperature gradients, whilst its USB and RS-232 compatibility facilitates the user's ability to operate the field metrology well remotely, allowing him/her to complete other tasks simultaneously.

Moreover, the user is able to program up to eight set-point temperatures to which the instrument will automatically ramp to and then ‘soak’; the user is also able to specify a ‘soak’ time, as well as the direction and number of cycles. As the Fluke 9190A-X-P-256 Ultra-Cool Field Metrology Well can be tailored to the user’s needs, this improves both the instrument’s and the user’s efficiency. Therefore the user is able to complete a greater number of calibration tasks compared to if he/she were using a traditional calibration bath.

The Fluke 9190A-X-P-256 shares the above features with its sister product the Fluke 9190A-X-256. In addition to this, it also shares its physical design. Like its sister product, the Fluke 9190A-X-P-256 includes two built-in handles: one on the front and one on the back. It is also is lightweight and compact. The user is also able to access all the controls and inputs via the front panel, ensuring that this instrument is easy-to-use.

Where the Fluke 9190A-X-P-256 Ultra-Cool Field Metrology Well differs from its sister product is in the addition of process electronics. These electronics facilitate the Fluke 9190A-X-P-256’s ability to perform a greater number of tasks accurately and comprehensively.  Please see below for further information:

Reference Sensor Control

This additional feature helps to reduce the effects of the axial gradient when the reference PRT is aligned with the short sensors. Furthermore, this feature also ensures that the Fluke 9190A-X-P-256 compensates for the measurement and position of the reference PRT by adjusting the well temperature accordingly. Finally, the addition of process electronics facilitates this product’s ability to pass information regarding the set-point temperature control from the internal sensor to the reference PRT.

4-20mA Connectors

This facilitates the Fluke 9190A-X-P-256 Ultra-Cool Field Metrology Well’s ability to power 4-20mA transmitters. It is able to emit a 24V DC loop power supply.

4-Wire PRT/ RTD Input

The Fluke 9190A-X-P-256 Ultra-Cool Field Metrology Well can be used with 4-20mA circuit fuses to measure 4-wire, 3-wire or 2-wire PRTs and RTDs to an accuracy of ±0.02°C.

Reference Thermometer Input

The Fluke 9190A-X-P-256 Ultra-Cool Field Metrology Well with Process Electronics includes a smart connector input which accepts –A terminated reference PRTs. These can be used with an accuracy of ±0.01°C at -95°C.

Thermocouple Input

The Fluke 9190A-X-P-256 accepts common thermocouples with mini-jack terminations. It is compatible with the following types: J, K, T, E, R, S, S, M, L, U, N, C.

The Fluke 9190A-X-P-256 Ultra-Cool Field Metrology Well with Process Electronics’ practical design, accuracy, reliability and extensive process electronics features, make this product an excellent, practical and efficient alternative to traditional calibration baths.
