STS Series

Superior Temperature
Reference Sensors
 Product Description
STS SUPERIOR TEMPERATURE REFERENCE SENSORS are a series of high quality sensors, ideal for
industrial temperature calibration applications where accuracy and long-term stability are
important. STS sensors are based on more than 50 years of industrial temperature sensor manufacturing
Key Features
 Wide Temperature Range
-150 to 700° C (-238 to 1292° F). A single sensor may cover the complete
experience. temperature range.

Features  Fast Response Time

Ensures correct monitoring of temperature stability in liquid baths or dry-block
The main requirement of a reference sensor is stability: The less the sensor drifts, the lower the mea-

surement uncertainty. All JOFRA Superior Temperature Reference Sensors are economical and offer fast
response times, low immersion depths, compact physical sizes, and specified low drift rates — even at high  Specified Low Drift
temperatures. These are all important considerations when selecting a reference sensor. Maintains a minimal uncertainty budget over the entire period between re-calibration
intervals. Allows for easier recalibration scheduling.
In addition to the standard straight sensors, we offer a special cable type reference sensor, permitting the
sensor to be positioned throughout the depth of the well in a dry block (for example) under a sanitary  Calibration Certificate
