Fluke Calibration 9170 Field Metrology Well

The Model 9170 achieves the lowest temperatures of the series, reaching –45 °C in normal room conditions. 

The 9170 is stable to ±0.005 °C over its full temperature range (up to 140 °C) and has 160 mm (6.3 in) of immersion depth. 

With axial uniformity of ±0.02 °C and radial uniformity of ±0.01 °C, this model delivers exceptional uncertainty budgets and is perfect for a variety of pharmaceutical and other applications.

Every once in a while, a new product comes around that changes the rules. 

It happened when we introduced handheld dry-wells. 

It happened when we introduced Micro-Baths. 

Now we’ve combined bath-level performance with dry-well functionality and legitimate reference thermometry to create Metrology Wells.

With groundbreaking new proprietary electronics from Fluke Calibration's (patents pending), Metrology Wells let you bring lab-quality performance into whatever field environment you might work in. 

New analog and digital control techniques provide stability as good as ±0.005 °C. 

And with dual-zone control, axial (or “vertical”) uniformity is as good as ±0.02 °C over a 60 mm (2.36 in) zone. (That’s 60 mm!) 

Such performance doesn’t exist anywhere else outside of fluid baths.

In short, there are six critical components of performance in an industrial heat source (which the European metrology community explains, for example, in the document EA-10/13): calibrated display accuracy, stability, axial (vertical) uniformity, radial (well-to-well) uniformity, impact from loading, and hysteresis. 

We added a seventh in the form of a legitimate reference thermometer input and created an entirely new product category: Metrology Wells.
