Annual calibration of your Secondary Temperature Standard (SSPRT) should NOT take 3 to 4 weeks. 

.

At Burns, we promise to have your sensor on the way back to you within 5 business days or we will take $100 of the cost of the calibration service. 

Check out Burns Lab-to-Lab™ Calibration Service, access the Sensor or System Info forms and email them to us.  We’ll be in touch to get your instrument scheduled. 

Calibration that is quick and accredited (NVLAP® lab code 200706-0) to ensure your measurement confidence and lab efficiency - That’s Our Promise. (Our Promise details)

New from Burns Engineering - Model T16 RTD Transmitter.  All the performance required in a small, compact - fit nearly anywhere - package.  PC programmable with the TP16 Programming Module. Here’s the details:  T16 Information.

We have heard multiple frustration-filled stories about large autoclave systems and damaged sensors as large carts and rack are move in and out of the chamber.  These conversations have pushed the envelope regarding what an RTD looks like to serve this durability need.

Known in the large autoclave circles as SAH and SAX, these provide the accuracy necessary and the durability hoped for by Autoclave users.  These Heavy Duty sensors join the previously released Autoclave RTDs, SAC (Sanitary Autoclave Classic) and SAL (Sanitary Autoclave Load).  See all the details in the Series S Autoclave Supplement.

Good things come in small packages.  In this case the small package includes Class A accuracy (+/- 0.06%) and a wide temperature range (-196°C to 200°C).

. 

From 0.080″ to 0.25″ diameter and 1.25″ length - and the ultimate in clean and flexible:  The A04 with a PFA sheath.

Measuring temperature in very small diameter tubing can be a challenge. 

This application note offers an example of how we customized a standard product to meet the measurement need.

Check out this Application Note from Bill Bergquist (RTDologist™).  Flush Mount RTDs.  It may not look like your typical RTD, but in our world each application deserves the most appropriate design.  Some times it’s “typical” and a lot of times it’s not so “typical”, but it’s always the right sensor. 

Because it’s about the measurement first!

Have a non-typical challenge?

Interesting!  Reported by WDRB Fox 41.  The Kentucky Health Department in its new Restaurant Health Standards, has reduced the temperature specification for holding cold food from 45F to 41F.  Food and consumer safety stated as the driving factor. 

That’s only a 4 degree change!  It doesn’t seem like much unless your measurement is OFF by a couple degrees and then the risk of food born illness and non-compliance is just an FDA Inspector or sick customer away.  Read the article.

.

We can help with that! 

.

With the right Burns RTD and a little coaching about the potential sources of measurement error, 41F can be achieved with confidence!

Give us a call, Bill would love to discuss the options and approaches -  952-935-4400, or drop a note via info@burnsengineering.com.

Read this important message from NIST: 

  No more Calibration of Mercury Thermometers (MiG). 

  In the big picture, this is necessary to help build momentum to STOP the use of these devices.  There are a lot of reasons they are in place, but the Mercury risk to the environment is too great.

FYI - Burns can help provide an RTD based instrument to replace the MiG. 

Send a note to info@burnsengineering.com, we’ll help you find a better solution.

Generally, after a temperature sensor is installed it doesn’t need much of your attention. 

……Except!
