The STS (Surface Transfer Standard) Reference System
All of our STS verifiers may be purchased separately, however, we recommend purchasing the unit as part of a complete Reference System – including the calibrated pyrometer, extender lead and reference sensor. The Reference System is recommended because it provides a means of maintaining the accuracy that is verified from the original lab calibration and further increases the accuracy of your surface sensor calibrations. The System will allow you to compare and cross check the readings from the STS controller with the actual surface temperature as determined by the reference (calibrated) surface sensor and pyrometer. This information is then compared with the readings from your Unit Under Test (UUT). This allows for laboratory grade checks of equipment whenever you need it; ensuring your sensors and instruments are performing correctly at all times.
In addition to offering the STS as a Reference System, you can opt to further increase your accuracy by utilizing an independent external PRT Reference Sensor. The PRT (sold separately; part number varies depending on block size) may be used in conjunction with the Reference System. The STS units featuring a 2" block have a hole drilled to accommodate an 1/8” diameter PRT. The STS-SC2-4 (with 4” block) comes drilled to accommodate an independent 3/16” diameter PRT. Using the external PRT (sold separately) allows you to have your sensor independently calibrated (as needed) and shifts all accuracy readings to your calibrated PRT. The PRT reference hole is easily accessed through the rear access panel, making yearly calibration a breeze.
