MET/TEMP II

Temperature

Calibration

Software v5.0 Technical Data

MET/TEMP II software enables you to easily automate the

calibration of a wide range of temperature sensors

It provides a comprehensive temperature calibration solution for testing batches of

sensors, calculating characterization coefficients and printing calibration reports.

You can standardize comparison or fixed point calibrations, and use multiple

temperature sources or references in a single test.

Version 5 updates the popular MET/TEMP II

software by offering compatibility with the

Microsoft Windows® 7 and 8 operating systems

and including support for our most recent tem-

perature calibration sources—the 9190A Ultra-Cool

Field Metrology Well and 9118A Thermocouple

Calibration Furnace.

Key features and benefits

Fully automated, consistent sensor

calibration

MET/TEMP II automates batch calibrations of

your platinum resistance thermometers (PRTs),

thermistor and thermocouple sensors, freeing

your time for more important tasks. You can be

confident your results are consistent no matter

who does the job since MET/TEMP II monitors and

controls the calibration process.

Test a broad workload of temperature

sensors

MET/TEMP II handles a wide range of tempera-

ture sensors. It can calibrate thermocouples, RTDs,

SPRTs, thermistors, and even liquid-in-glass

(LIGs), bi-metallic thermometers, and connected

sensors that can’t be attached to a readout.

Virtually any sensor with a resistance or voltage

output can be tested, up to 100 sensors at a time.

They don’t even have to be the same type. You

can select up to 40 temperature points for testing

your sensors.

Multiply your lab productivity

Manual temperature sensor calibration is expen-

sive, time consuming, and error prone. It takes

roughly four hours to calibrate a sensor at three

points, then another hour for paperwork to

document the temperature data and to create the

certificate. And your results may vary depending

on the technician doing the calibration. There’s a

better way.

With MET/TEMP II software, simply place your

test sensors in a heat source, connect them to a

temperature readout, enter your setup information,

and start the test. Later print out the reports, sign

them, and ship the sensors back to your customer.

You and your customers will love the fast turn-

around. It’s your choice. Spend hours handling

temperature sensor calibration manually. Or get

consistent, repeatable measurements in just min-

utes with MET/TEMP II.

Proven, trusted calibration software

MET/TEMP II v5.0 is an updated version of trusted,

well-known software that easily connects to

your Fluke Calibration equipment. Hundreds of

customers worldwide use this software in their

calibration labs. Version 5 maintains the structure

and work flow that users know and like.

Easy to learn and use

The MET/TEMP II user interface guides you

through configuring/running a calibration test,

calculating sensor coefficients, and preparing a

report of calibration. Calibration professionals of

all levels will can easily learn and benefit from

the time saving features of MET/TEMP II software.

Choice of calibration method (comparison,

fixed-point, or mixed)

You may calibrate most secondary standard

sensors against a reference sensor or against

calibrated heat sources. But do you need a higher

level of accuracy than a comparison calibration

can give you? MET/TEMP II can calibrate your

secondary standard or primary standard sensors

using fixed-point cells. If you prefer, MET/TEMP II

lets you combine comparison and fixed-point cell

measurements during the same calibration. You

can also do a triple-point of water measurement

before and/or after your comparison points.

Heat source calibrations

Would you like to calibrate your heat sources also?

MET/TEMP II can perform heat source calibrations

for Fluke Calibration dry-wells and Micro-Baths.

Support for many test equipment

configurations

Perform calibrations using a variety of digital

thermometer readouts, from handhelds to high-

precision bench-top models, and an assortment of

heat sources including dry-wells, Metrology Wells,

Micro-Baths, calibration baths and furnaces.

Automatically log ambient conditions

MET/TEMP II can log ambient temperature and

humidity automatically during calibration using

the 1620A “DewK” Thermo-Hygrometer.

Asset management

MET/TEMP II maintains all test equipment infor-

mation and calibration status in a database, as

well as unit under test (UUT) sensor information

including customer names and address, which are

used when printing reports. MET/TEMP II can also

interface with the Fluke MET/TRACK® database.

Coefficient calculation for many

sensor types

The Coefficients and Tables utility calculates

characterization coefficients for PRT, thermistor,

and thermocouple probes. The types of coeffi-

cients that can be calculated are ITS-90, IPTS-68,

Callendar-Van Dusen, and polynomial functions for

PRTs; polynomial for thermistors; and coefficients

for thermocouple types B, E, J, K, N, R, S, T, and

AuPt. Characterization coefficients and test data

acquired by MET/TEMP II can be exported to a

text file.

Data quality check

Are you concerned about the quality of the data

acquired from a questionable sensor? The Coef-

ficients and Tables utility calculates residuals at

each set-point to give you an indication of the

quality of the data used to characterize the sensor.

Interpolation tables

After you have characterized a sensor, you can

generate temperature versus resistance, tempera-

ture versus ratio or temperature versus voltage

interpolation tables using the calculated char-

acterization coefficients. Interpolation tables can

be printed as part of the report of calibration, or

exported to a delimited ASCII text file for importing

into other analysis software.

ANSI/NCSL compliant report of calibration

MET/TEMP II produces reports of calibration

compliant to ANSI/NCSL Z540.3.
