1. 5 1 Cleaning TRAQC 3 LL heat block well and inserts A small amount of dust or pollution can cause jams when between the inserts and the heat block well To prevent this e Remove the insert from the heat block well at regular intervals e Clean the heat block well with a dry cloth If the heat block well is very polluted it can be cleaned with a brass tube wire brush After cleaning flush the heat block well with compressed air e Clean the bore and outside of the insert with a dry cloth If the bore of the heat insert is very polluted it can be cleaned with a brass tube wire brush The outside with a brass wire brush After cleaning flush the bore of the insert with compressed air and clean the outside with a dry cloth If the TRAQC 3 LL is not operated for longer periods or moved remove the insert from the heat block well and store the insert in one of the two insert storing holes 5 2 Cleaning the fan grille On top the TRAQC 3 LL is fitted with an air grille upper grill via which cooling air enters the TRAQC 3 LL Clean the grille at regular intervals vacuuming or brushing depending on the level of air pollution 5 3 External cleaning Clean the outside of the TRAQC 3 LL with a damp cloth and some water or with a solvent free and mild cleaning agent TRAQG 3 LH 07 2014 EN Rev 2 page 13 Shee Tradinco lt s PR E sannan User Manual TRAQC 3 LL 5 4 Fuse2.

3. 2 Important knowledge The factors which characterize a dry block oven are Accuracy of the display compared to a standard The stability over time The axial homogeneity of the block The boring to boring homogeneity The European Association of National Metrology Institutes Euromet CG 13 Guideline describes this in detail This paragraph will briefly discuss the parameters above Please note that the importance and pit falls with these parameters are often overlooked More important is to specify these parameters correctly in order to know the measurement uncertainty 2 1 Accuracy of the display compared to a standard Usually a dry well block oven is used in combination with a standard temperature measuring instrument A Unit under test UUT is in that instance calibrated against the said standard Important then is to have a dry well which can hold its temperature very stable 2 2 Stability Is defined as temperature variation as function of time The Euromet CG 13 guideline uses a 30 minute interval This makes clear that a good stability over a long period of time is actually a good stability 2 3 The axial homogeneity Is probably the most important and forgotten parameter of a dry well block calibrator If one uses a probe with 5 mm length and measure at intervals the temperature while pulling out this probe one can determine the axial gradient Due to its geometry isolation characteristics the heat loss of the probe etc the
