Technical Data
The Fluke Calibration 525B
Temperature/ Pressure Calibrator
gives you a workhorse combina-
tion of high accuracy and broad
functionality for temperature and
pressure instrument calibration.
Compact and economical, the
525B has an interface for auto-
mated calibration, providing wide
workload coverage in instrument
shops and calibration labs, as
well as in ATE applications.
The 525B is the most
accurate Fluke Calibration
temperature calibrator, sourc-
ing and measuring a complete
range of RTDs, thermocouples,
and the YSI 400 thermistor. It
also measures pressure cover-
ing common ranges from 1 inch
(6900 Pa) of water up to 10,000
PSI (69 MPa) using the Fluke 700
Series and 525A-P Series Pressure
Modules. Plus, the dc voltage and
current specifications of the 525B
enable you to calibrate other
process calibrators and a wide
variety of other instruments with
accuracy that rivals any calibrator
in its price range.
Key features:
Simulates and measures all
ANSI thermocouples, as well
as L and U types, and provides
cold junction compensation to
enable calibration of a wide
variety of thermocouple instru-
mentation.
Direct input for storage of
ITS-90 RTD constants.
RTD source uncertainties to
0.03 °C.
Direct measurement of all
Fluke 700 Series and 525A-P
Series Pressure Modules cover-
ing the most common pressure
ranges from 1˝ H
2
0
to 10,000 PSI.
Converts easily to any pres-
sure unit directly from the
front panel or through remote
communications.
Sources dc voltage and current
for multifunction workload
coverage, enabling calibration
of data loggers, strip chart
recorders, multimeters, and
other industrial instruments.
Supports automation using Fluke
Calibration’s MET/CAL
®
Plus
Calibration Management
Software or custom automated
programs with standard
RS-232-C and IEEE-488
interface.
Eight user programmable
setpoints allow quick recall
of values for Zero, Span and
linearity checks during
calibration.
Programmable setpoint dwell
times for automated calibration
and troubleshooting.
Selectable internal or external
CJC (Cold junction compen-
sation) provides you with
the ability to make exacting
thermocouple measurements
using remote junctions.
Easy five-way binding posts for
low-loss convenient hookup.
Banana plug, screw terminal,
spade lug,
wraparound terminal, wire
pass-through terminal.
NIST-traceable calibration with
data is included.
At home in the cal lab
The 525B is a compact bench
instrument well suited for
traditional calibration labora-
tories with a large temperature
workload. Its 0 to 100 V output
and 0 to 100 mA current capa-
bilities—plus its ability to serve
as a highly-accurate pressure
standard—make it a versatile
performer.
Filling the gap in the
instrument shop
In process plant environments,
instrument shop technicians
responsible for maintaining the
equipment pool need to calibrate
and repair a wide range of instru-
ments, transmitters, field calibra-
tors, P/l converters, transducers,
and temperature probes. With
its ability to simulate almost any
temperature sensor, precise pres-
sure monitoring capability, and
dc voltage and current accuracy
rivaling any calibrator in its price
range, the 525B fills the gap
between lower accuracy hand-
held field calibrators and more
expensive high-end multifunction
calibrators.
