IMPROVED OFFSHORE CALIBRATION WITH CROPICO DECADE BOXES
Tough design withstands harsh environment
Â
Improved calibration of instruments used in the offshore industry is provided with the compact, tough and easy-to-use RBB decade resistance boxes now available from Cropico, the specialist supplier of precision measurement equipment.
 The RBB series features a re-engineered lightweight case designed for high impact resistance and protection, and offers 0.05% calibration accuracy over a wide range of 0.001Ω to 11MΩ.
Â
Five and six decade versions are available, which use Cropico maintenance free switches with gold plated contacts to ensure a low contact resistance and negligible thermal emf. The boxes give long-term stability of ±3ppm per year and similarly have a low temperature co-efficient of ±3ppm/°C to 85°C.
Â
Units come in special models ideal for temperature and insulation resistance simulation. Â
Â
Some models employ the Waidner Wolf technique to eliminate switch contact resistance errors and, with resolution as low as 0.0001Ω (0.0025°C), these are particularly suited to PT100 simulation.  Another option is in-house test figures.
