New from Anton Paar is the MKT 50 platinum resistance thermometer (PRT).
It boasts a measuring range of -260°C to 960°C, an accuracy of 0.001°C and a resolution of 0.0001°C. It is easy and intuitive to use and can be operated via mains or battery power (the battery life is in excess of ten hours). According to Anton Paar, the PRT features ITS-90 and IEC751 temperature calculation and a unique measuring principle to avoid thermal EMF and zero point drift. Integral RS232 and ethernet ports are said to simplify data collection and transfer. As the PRT uses industry standard locking connecters the operator can use their own sensors if required.
