High-pre­ci­sion plat­inum sen­sors for med­ical and den­tal technology

With its new plat­inum sen­sors, hotset is push­ing for­ward in­to the up­per per­for­mance ranges of con­tact­ing high-tem­per­a­ture mea­sure­ment. This is be­cause the pre­cious met­al sen­sors, which are of­fered in var­i­ous con­fig­u­ra­tions, are suit­able for ap­pli­ca­tion tem­per­a­tures of up to 1,600° C and meet high re­quire­ments for mea­sure­ment ac­cu­ra­cy. In med­ical and den­tal tech­nol­o­gy, they are al­ready be­ing used as part of in­no­v­a­tive sin­ter­ing and glaz­ing processes.

Nu­mer­ous process­es in mod­ern med­ical and den­tal tech­nol­o­gy are based on the use of high tem­per­a­tures of 900° C and more. These in­clude, for ex­am­ple, a range of sin­ter­ing, glaz­ing, melt­ing and plas­ma tech­nolo­gies used for the man­u­fac­ture and sur­face fin­ish­ing of in­stru­ments and im­plants. Nu­mer­ous high-tem­per­a­ture process­es are al­so found in an­a­lyt­i­cal and lab­o­ra­to­ry tech­nol­o­gy — for ex­am­ple, in au­to­clave and re­ac­tor sys­tems for car­ry­ing out hy­dro­gena­tions or cat­a­lyst tests. De­signed for use in such de­mand­ing ar­eas are the new HT1600‑P plat­inum probes from hotset, with which the well-known ther­mo­dy­nam­ics spe­cial­ist is ex­pand­ing the se­lec­tion of tem­per­a­ture sen­sors in its hot­con­trol prod­uct line. De­vice and equip­ment man­u­fac­tur­ers in the med­ical, den­tal and lab­o­ra­to­ry tech­nol­o­gy sec­tors thus have a high-qual­i­ty pre­mi­um so­lu­tion for the re­al­iza­tion of in­no­v­a­tive high-tech applications.

Pre­ci­sion so­lu­tion for high-temp applications

As the nam­ing sug­gests, the new pre­cious met­al sen­sor from hotset is suit­able for mea­sur­ing and mon­i­tor­ing tem­per­a­tures of up to 1,600° C. It scores points across the en­tire tem­per­a­ture range. It scores over the en­tire mea­sur­ing range with very high ac­cu­ra­cies. “Even in the up­per­most tem­per­a­ture zones, the HT1600‑P con­vinces with the small­est de­vi­a­tions of on­ly +/- 1.0° C,” says hotset prod­uct man­ag­er Adri­an Stro­jny. Due to this high ac­cu­ra­cy, plat­inum probes are al­so used as ref­er­ences or stan­dards in cal­i­bra­tion tech­nol­o­gy. For man­u­fac­tur­ers of med­ical and lab­o­ra­to­ry tech­nol­o­gy, this opens up new av­enues for the de­vel­op­ment of high-temp so­lu­tions that re­quire above-av­er­age tem­per­a­ture guid­ance and parameterization.
