Product overviewThe Fluke 5698-25 Working Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometer (SPRT) is engineered for calibration laboratories and industrial metrology facilities that require ITS-90 traceability and stable long-term performance. It serves as a transfer standard for bringing national-lab traceability into working labs and for supporting routine and critical temperature measurements.
Key features- Meets ITS-90 SPRT guidelines and full resistance-ratio requirements for SPRTs.
- Typical long-term drift < 0.003 °C; specified long-term drift below 6 mK.
- Calibration options: fixed-point or delivered without calibration.
- 485 mm fused silica (quartz) protective sheath covering -200 °C to 670 °C.
- Nominal 25-ohm design (R_TPW ≈ 25.5 Ω ±0.5 Ω) with 1.0 mA excitation current for standard readouts.
- Strain-free platinum sensing element mounted on a fused silica cross frame; annealed and tested for stability.
- Sealed construction with convection-prevention discs and gold-plated terminations for reliable connections.
Designed as a working standard- Intended to transfer ITS-90 from national or standards laboratories to user facilities.
- Suitable for both standards transfer and routine calibration tasks in busy calibration environments.
Transparent performance and support- Full performance specifications published to set clear expectations for instrument behavior.
- Calibrations performed in Fluke accredited laboratories using fixed-point or comparison methods to provide ITS-90 traceability.
