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)

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.

. 

Give us a call (800.326.3871) to discuss how the Series A fit-anywhere RTDs could help with your temperature measurement needs.

Burns is proud to support various companies in the Biomass/Biogas arena.  Check out this workshop addressing Waste to Energy concepts and issues.  (Workshop info in PDF.)  

This event is brought to us by the US Dept of Energy-Clean Energy Center and various other sponsors.

Earth Day at Burns is all about conserving resources.  We recycle and re-use whenever we can, but when we can help our customers conserve that’s a beautiful thing.

Here is a paper about how temperature measurement accuracy can save energy resources (and cost).  Technical Paper

Happy Earth Day.

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!

Thought this was fascinating.  Temperature and Relative Humidity in a 3mm by 3mm package, from Sensirion.  See the product highlight on DirectIndustry.com and visit Sensirion website for more info.

Temperature accuracy is over a narrow range, but 0.3°C is pretty good if that is your range of concern.

There are those applications where it seems like the solution is going to be expensive and difficult to solve.

Measuring the temperature of a corrosive media could be an example.  Unless…  Here is a quick and cost effective idea.  See Application note  A100823.
