Yokogawa Corporation of America announces that it will release three models of the CA300 series single function calibrators on December 2, 2015. The CA300 series is a high accuracy source and measure portable handheld calibrator used to inspect and maintain the accuracy of control devices such as temperature controllers, temperature transmitters, temperature sensors and other process devices which are used in process plants, industry machinery, and manufacturing. Available in three models, the CA310, CA320, and CA330 provide an ergonomic and friendly user interface.
The CA300 series offers three source and measurement models:
The CA300 series includes the continued models of voltage calibrator CA11E, and temperature calibrator CA12E. While maintaining a low cost, the CA300 series achieves the highest source/measurement accuracy compared to other instruments in the same class concerning functionality and performance. With this release, Yokogawa aims to expand our sales through the calibration business.
Development Background
It is periodically required to calibrate and inspect control devices to maintain their accuracy. As there are higher concerns on stable and safe operation for plants, the importance of maintenance and inspection is more of a focus. Thus, process calibrators are required to be capable to perform much more efficient operations in the field with higher quality. Moreover, as the control devices themselves are getting more precise, it is required for the process calibrator to be more precise and with higher performance. Corresponding with those needs, Yokogawa releases the CA300 series single function process calibrator with the highest accuracy of source and measure in its class, which supersedes the voltage/current calibrator CA11E and temperature controller CA12E.
CA320 Key Features:
- Basic accuracy: 0.5°C (Typical of TC type K) including accuracy of internal RJC
- Corresponds to 16 types of TC standard
- Corresponds to other TC types by mV source function
- Measures TC sensor output as a thermometer
CA330 Key Features:
- Basic accuracy: 0.3°C (Typical of PT100)
- Corresponds to 14 types of RTD standard
- Corresponds to 2, 3, 4 wire; realizes RTD simulation
- Measures output of RTD sensor as a thermometer
Major Target Markets
Testing and plant maintenance of process instruments, calibration devices, and troubleshooting. Used in various industries, such as oil refineries, petrochemical, chemical, power, steel, gas, pipeline, water system, pharmacy, paper, electric machinery and automobile
Applications
For commissioning or regular inspection of the following:
- All types of loop test with control devices
- Valve test
- Temperature control, calibration, and checking of temperature sensor, etc.
