DBC Series Dry‑Block Temperature Calibrators
Fast, portable dry‑block calibrators for industrial temperature sensors (RTDs, thermocouples, thermistors, bi‑metal and liquid‑in‑glass). Models span −30 °C to 1200 °C.
Why choose DBC dry‑block calibrators?
Models from −30 °C to 1200 °C for lab and field work.
Rapid stabilisation cuts calibration cycle time.
Multiple hole patterns suit different probe sizes; custom inserts available.
Industry‑leading insertion depths improve uniformity & repeatability.

DBC Series Datasheet
Reference diagrams — Dry-block calibration
Basic probe calibration (reference + DUT)
Loop calibration (sensor + transmitter, 4–20 mA)
Multi-point routine (typical 5-step)
Reference diagram — Basic probe calibration
Close- Stabilize setpoint; insert both probes same depth.
- Soak, read, compare UUT vs reference.
Reference diagram — Loop calibration (4–20 mA)
Close- Insert DUT with sleeve; wire loop to meter/calibrator.
- Soak at each point; compare temperature vs mA; adjust zero/span if needed.
Reference diagram — Multi-point routine
Close- Use 3–5 setpoints across the range (e.g., 0, 50, 100, 150 °C).
- Match insertion depth/diameter; keep probes co-located.
