Introduction General The Hart Platinum Resistance Thermometers (PRT) models 5626 and 5628, are designed to be the best secondary standard interpolating instrument converting temperature to resistance. The PRTs are used with a readout de- vice to detect temperature changes or actual temperature. The PRTs cover the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90) range from –200°C to 661°C.
Scientific are calibrated using standard calibration techniques. Recalibration The recalibration of the 5626/5628 Secondary PRT should be scheduled ac- cording to the user’s company Quality Assurance requirements. Normally, a PRT is recalibrated annually. Unless the PRT is used only over a limited range, calibration over the full range of the PRT (–196°C to 661°C) is recom-...

5626/5628 User’s Guide Construction The Model 5626 and 5628 PRTs cover the range from –200°C to 661°C. The sensor elements are crafted using high purity platinum wire wound in a strain free design on a specially designed support. Electrical Circuit The PRTs are provided with a terminal box handle.
Do not screw the clamps too tight. Over tightening will damage the sheath. If metal comparison blocks are used in the bath, maintain a close fit between the thermometer sheath and the well in the comparison block. However, allow for the ther- mal expansion of the thermometer sheath when determining block well tolerances.
DO anneal the thermometer after shipment. Shipping the thermometer can cause mechanical shocks that effect the accuracy of the thermome- ter. Therefore, if possible, we advise that the thermometer be annealed before use. The thermometer should be annealed at 500°C overnight or 660°C for four (4) hours.

DO use the correct drive current with the thermometer to prevent error in temperature or resistance. Hart Scientific recommends 1mA. DO anneal the thermometer at 600 to 661°C for 12 hours if it becomes oxidized. DO use the protective shipping box or case provided or other protec- tion when the thermometer is not in use.
152 mm (6 inches). This error is due to heat lost or gained by the sensing element through the thermometer stem. In addi- tion, heat losses occur due to radiation losses from the sensing element to the housing.
5626/5628 User’s Guide Thermal EMF Two factors contribute to thermal EMF, chemical consistency and physical consistency. Variations in chemical structure due to impurities can contrib- ute to thermal EMF. Also discrepancies in crystal structure can contribute to thermal EMF. These factors are minimized by annealing the full length of wire before construction of the PRT.

Troubleshooting Troubleshooting In the event that the probe appears to function abnormally, this section may be of use in solving the problem. Several possible problem conditions are described along with likely causes and solutions. If a problem arises, please read this section carefully and attempt to understand and solve the problem. If the probe seems faulty or the problem cannot otherwise be solved, con- tact an Authorized Hart Scientific Service Center (see Section 1.3) for assis- tance.

5626/5628 User’s Guide Problem Temperature readout differ- ent than expected, e.g. the heat source is set at 300°C, the PRT measures 275°C. Causes and Solutions • Measure the PRT resistance at TPW. • If the resistance of the PRT is less than the rated resis- tance, e.g.
