Hart PRT Probes Perform In Extreme Environments
Fluke's Hart Scientific Division has brought out the 5606 and 5607 full immersion platinum resistance thermometer (PRT) probes, which are designed to perform in extreme environments. The Hart PRTs perform in applications where both the transition junction and the lead wires must withstand temperatures covering the entire operating range of the probe. Such applications can include calibration or validation of sensors used in laboratory or bio freezers, walk-in refrigerators, autoclaves, ovens, stability test chambers, furnaces or incubators. The Hart Scientific 5606 has a temperature range of -200C to +160C, while the 5607 has a range of 0C to +450C. The 5606 is only 2in (50mm) in length with a sheath diameter of 1/8in (3.1mm). Since it can be fully immersed over its entire temperature range, users need not worry about calculating minimum immersion depth and can immerse the entire probe, transition junction and lead wires in either non-corrosive liquids or dry mediums.
