Comparison of the Performance of the Two Dry Block Furnaces for RTC158B and Const660

Abstract

Abstract The dry block temperature calibrator uses air as the calibration medium with small volume and light weight, and therefore is widely applied in field calibration work. With the improvement and vigorous development of the technology of domestic instruments, the technology of domestic dry body furnace is also developing rapidly. Whether the performance of domestic dry block temperature calibrator is better than the foreign instruments, this question is not very clear yet. Therefore, this study focuses on the comparative analysis of the performance parameters of the two dry-type temperature calibrators of Foreign dry furnace-RTC158 and domestic dry furnace-Const660, such as temperature deviation, temperature volatility, axial deviation, and radial deviation. The results reveal that the comprehensive performance of domestic instrument-Const660 is better than foreign instrument-RTC158.
