Now there are portable calibration baths (6109A & 7109A) designed with the process manufacturing professional in mind. Process manufacturing plants for pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and food production utilise many sanitary temperature sensors that require regular calibration. Production must stop during temperature sensor calibration. Therefore, more calibration throughput means less plant downtime. And in businesses where even a few tenths of a degree Celsius can cost thousands of dollars in ruined product, temperature accuracy is crucial to maintaining quality.

The Fluke Calibration 6109A and 7109A Portable Calibration Baths are liquid baths that let process industry professionals calibrate four times more sanitary sensors per batch in less time and with twice the accuracy of other portable baths in this class. Larger than micro baths, up to four tri-clamp sanitary sensors fit easily into these baths for calibration at ± 0.1 °C temperature display accuracy. Throughput is even higher for sanitary RTDs with small or no flanges.

Two bath models cover a wide temperature range: 35 °C to 250 °C for the 6109A and -25 °C to 140 °C for the 7109A. Each model offers a “-P” version that includes process electronics for connecting an external reference probe.

Professionals working in clean process industries, including facilities managers, production engineers and calibration technicians, prefer these baths for a variety of reasons.

Facilities managers who need to meet U.S. FDA and ISO clean room standards like the baths’ stainless steel casing that stands up to harsh cleaning solutions. They depend on the 6109A and 7109A to help maintain the accuracy of the plant’s temperature sensors, thus reducing the possibility of an expensive product batch loss.

 

FEATURES

• Calibrate up to four tri-clamp sanitary sensors at the same time
• Wide temperature ranges cover most process applications:
  • 6109A: 35 °C to 250 °C
  • 7109A: –25 °C to 140 °C
• Excellent display accuracy of ±0.1 °C provides 4:1 test uncertainty ratio (TUR) for critical applications
• Easy to transport up stairs and across catwalks
• Stainless steel casing withstands harsh sterilising chemicals and is rust proof
• Easy to use and maintain
• Global Fluke support and service

 

Calibrate more sanitary sensors at a time – with confidence

The 6109A and 7109A baths calibrate most temperature sensor applications used in clean process manufacturing, including pharmaceutical bioreactors (-10 C to 100 °C), chemical reactors (200 °C), steam-in-place process (122 °C to 140 °C), autoclave sterilization (120 °C to 135 °C), food storage freezers (-25 °C), and food processing (0 °C to 220 °C).

A large tank volume (112 mm square tank opening x 154 mm depth) lets you immerse up to four sanitary sensors at the same time. Calibrate a batch of odd shaped temperature sensors of varying lengths and diameters, and still have room for a reference thermometer. Fast heating and cooling times let you get the job done without spending a lot of time waiting for the bath to come to temperature and stabilize. Increase your sanitary sensor calibration throughput and decrease expensive production downtime.

Excellent system display accuracy of ± 0.1 °C. Accuracy covers all sources of error including calibration uncertainty, stability, uniformity, and repeatability. NVLAP accredited calibration is included standard. Fluke Calibration’s high metrological standards and conservative specifications mean you can have confidence in the measurements you make with the 6109A and 7109A Portable Calibration Baths.
 

Easy to use and maintain

Each bath features a large colour display that indicates date and time, bath fluid temperature, setpoint temperature, control indicator when the fluid is at setpoint, and heating status. A ready indicator changes colour from amber to green, giving you 360-degree visual indication when the bath fluid has reached its setpoint temperature and is ready for you to start making measurements.

A hot warning indicator lights up if the fluid temperature reaches above 60 °C, warning the operator that the bath fluid and tank area are hot and should not be touched.

An adjustable probe fixture holds up to four tri-clamp sensors securely inside the tank opening during calibration. An optional single probe clamp kit holds a reference probe.

Fluid spills create mess and potential safety hazards. The 6109A and 7109A include an overflow tube that directs excess bath fluid into an optional overflow container. A drain tube makes it easy to remove bath fluid for replacement or transport.

I own a Fluke Calibration Micro-Bath. Why do I need a 6109A or 7109A bath?

If you already own a Fluke Calibration Micro-Bath or dry-block calibrator, thank you for being a customer! We hope you are enjoying the portability and stability of these popular products.

However, there are a few reasons why you should consider adding a 6109A or 7109A bath:

• Errors of just a few tenths of a degree Celsius can cause expensive losses in ruined product. The 6109A and 7109A baths are twice as accurate as a Micro-Bath, helping you to reduce this risk.
• The 6109A and 7109A have four times the calibration throughput of a Micro-Bath, which can only calibrate a single tri-clamp sensor at a time.
• They’re made with materials that don’t harbour bacteria. Their stainless steel panels and tank are easy to clean and rust resistant–perfect for clean room use.

We hope you will continue to use your Fluke Calibration Micro-Bath for many years to come. The 6109A or 7109A baths will also serve you well if you need the throughput, accuracy, and clean room readiness that they provide.
