The Dry-Block Principle
The principle of a dry-block calibrator is basically very simple:
‘Heating up a metal block and keeping the temperature stable.’ This basic design gives the user a lot of advantages compared to the more traditional liquid baths.
– Heating up and cooling down much faster
– Much wider temperature ranges
– Physically smaller and lighter
– Designed for industrial applications
– Models with completely integrated calibration solutions
