MODEL 1000A FLUOROPTIC THERMOMETER: A STATEMENT ABOUT ACCURACY
Authors not listed · 1980
The Model IOOOA's look-up table is accurate to 0.05°C or better throughout its range, and the instrument includes a built-in calibration reference for probe optimization.
Plain English Summary
The technical note defines the basis of accuracy for the Model IOOOA and helps the customer optimize results. The look-up table in the Model IOOOA is accurate to 0.05°C or better throughout its range. A built-in calibration reference allows each probe to be optimized by inserting the sensor into the calibration well and making an adjustment. Current probes show a precision of 0.1°C. The instrument's resolution is the 0.1° digit on the display.
Why This Matters
The Luxtron standard's accuracy is better than 0.019°C up to 100°C and better than 0.02°C up to 200°C, traceable to NBS through a platinum resistance standard. Matched probes selected for common calibrations can achieve closer conformity without calibration checks between readings.
Finding
The look-up table in the Model IOOOA is accurate to 0.05°C or better, throughout its range. This corresponds to 1/2 of the least significant displayed digit.
In their words
“The look-up table in the Model IOOOA is accurate to 0.05°C or better, throughout its range. This corresponds to 1/2 of the least significant displayed digit.”
