Ametek JOFRA RTC-250: High accuracy, excellent stability 0.01C, wide temperature range. Range: 28 to 250°C
Advantages of the combined liquid bath/dry-block calibrator
- • Automatic calibration of as many as 24 sensors at a time
- • For customers, who only want to use liquid baths
- • For calibration of odd sizes and shapes of sensors including sanitary sensors
WET = no need for inserts, that fit the sensors
DRY = more space for calibration of special sensors
- • Industries who need to calibrate many sensors at a time or short sensors can benefit from the big well
- • JOFRACAL software and RTC B-models can handle on-line calibration and documentation of multiple sensors calibrated simultaneously

Use of other inserts may reduce performance of the calibrator.
To get the best results out of the calibrator, the
insert dimensions, tolerance and material is critical. We
highly advise using JOFRA inserts, as they guarantee
trouble free operation.
