1.2 Micro Bath Function
The LTR-150 has the ability to be utilized as a micro bath for calibration/verification of specialty probes or
even ValProbe Loggers. Utilization of the micro bath functionality requires the purchase of the optional Micro
Bath Kit (PN: 425-3061).
The kit includes a micro bath tub as well as one (1) sensor cage, two (2) magnetic stirrers, one (1) magnetic
lifter, one (1) sleeve exchange tool, one (1) work cover, and one (1) transportation cover. Kaye also offers
Silicon Oil (type 200 -10cs) which can cover the complete temperature range of the calibrator and can be
directly poured into the micro bath tub.
The use of calibration liquids offers certain
advantages if temperatures of unusual shape
and/or size require calibration. The sensor cage
can accommodate up to two (2) ValProbe rigid
loggers. The test item is immersed directly into
the desired liquid medium without an insulating
air gap, resulting in direct temperature contact
between the unit and test item(s). The continuous
adjustment of the magnetic stirrer together with
the removable sensor basket agitates the medium
to create a broad and uniform temperature
measuring zone. Furthermore, the sensor basket
guarantees unhindered stirring, protecting the
tank floor.
The sensor cover reduces evaporation of the liquid to a
minimum and cooling of the liquid surface. The cover is
screwed on to the micro bath and has five (5) openings for
sensors under test.
