Increase accuracy with Fluke Calibration solutions.
When demonstrating to regulatory agencies that appropriate levels of temperature accuracy and uniformity are being maintained in freezers, refrigerators, incubators, autoclaves and ovens, chamber mapping needs to be completed, sometimes as often as seasonally. Power failure, open door studies and empty/full configurations are also tested. To complete chamber mapping, thermocouples or data loggers are first calibrated, as all testing equipment should be before a critical measurement. Once calibrated, they are positioned at specific locations within the chamber, then the process is run through in its entirety. The data is collected and analyzed to ensure temperature uniformity, and that there are no hot or cold spots within the chamber that could impact product quality.
The Fluke Calibration 1586A Super-DAQ Precision Temperature Scanner can be used for chamber mapping with TQ Software to comply with FDA 21 CFR Part 11. This also allows for easily measuring temperature uniformity of the chamber directly without having to apply thermocouple offsets manually.
If you are calibrating at temperature over 700°C, use the Fluke Calibration 9118A with an isothermal block and a 5650 Type-S reference grade thermocouple.
