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.
