WL 920 Advanced Temperature Measurement Unit Show data sheet (pdf file)
Technical Description
A wide range of temperature measurements can be performed and compared using this unit. The thermometers and temperature sensors to be investigated are heated to the same temperature in a tank of water. A second heated tank with an electronic control system provides water temperatures up to 80°C. The transient response of the sensors can be examined by quickly immersing them in the second tank. Digital instruments for measuring temperature, voltage and resistance enable the characteristic curves to be drawn. A 3-channel chart recorder can be used to continuously record the measured values from the electrical temperature sensors (thermocouple, thermistor, RTD) and thus to document the different responses. The mobile unit can be used for student experiments and is also suitable for demonstrations.
The unit requires a supply of water.
