    Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90) range from −200 °C to 661 °C. Two standard resistance values are available. The 5626 is 100 Ω and the 5628 is 25.5 Ω. Standard lengths are 12, 15, and 20 inches. Custom lengths are available on request.
  • Page 10: Calibration

    PRTs are calibrated in Hart’s Scientific Calibration laboratory and provided with a NIST traceable “Report of Calibration”. At the time of purchase, the 5626 and 5628 are calibrated over their entire range ( −196 °C to 660 °C) at specified ITS-90 fixed points. Generally, a secondary PRT is calibrated by comparison method.

    If metal comparison blocks are used in the bath, maintain a close fit between the thermometer sheath and the well in the comparison block. However, allow for the thermal expansion of the thermometer sheath when determining block well tolerances. MyFlukeStore 1.888.610.7664 www. .com Shop for Fluke products online at:...

  • Page 15: Prt Care And Handling Guidelines

    Read this section before removing the PRT from the shipping box or case. The 5626 and 5628 Platinum Resistance Thermometers (PRTs) are delicate instruments. Care must be taken in handling the PRTs to maintain calibration accuracy. The stress free design of the PRT sensor reduces the effects of mechanical shock.
  • Page 16: Prt Handling Guidelines

    This allows for the best accuracy. • DO use the correct drive current with the thermometer to prevent error in temperature or resistance. Fluke recommends 1mA. • DO anneal the thermometer at 600 to 661 °C for 12 hours if it becomes oxidized.

    152 mm (6 inches). This error is due to heat lost or gained by the sensing element through the thermometer stem. In addition, heat losses occur due to radiation losses from the sensing element to the housing. MyFlukeStore 1.888.610.7664 www. .com Shop for Fluke products online at:...
  • Page 18: Thermal Emf

    Therefore, cover or insulate any exposed bridge or galvanometer terminals to lessen the source of error. The effects of thermal EMF can be canceled by using an AC bridge or a DC bridge with reversible current. MyFlukeStore 1.888.610.7664 www. .com Shop for Fluke products online at:...
