Incorrect handling can damage the PRT and void the warranty. • Keep the shipping container in case it is necessary to ship the PRT. Incorrect packaging of the PRT for shipment can cause irreparable damage. MyFlukeStore 1.888.610.7664 www. .com Shop for Fluke products online at:...
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.
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.

Figure 2. Standard Dimensions 3.2 Construction The 5626 and 5628 PRTs cover the range from −200 °C to 661 °C. The sensor elements are crafted using high purity platinum wire wound in a strain free design on a specially designed support.
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:...
Figure 3. PRT Schematic The lead wires are four different colors. Lead wire pairs attached to each end of the sensor are identified by red and black heat shrink tubing. MyFlukeStore 1.888.610.7664 www. .com Shop for Fluke products online at:...
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.
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:...
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:...
