Description-
"RAI" DC Standard Resistor Model 55X-SR has been designed and fabricated to meet precision calibration requirements. These standard resistors can serve as Precision Resistance Calibration Standards in component manufacturing industries to compare the accuracy of manufactured components such as capacitors, resistors, potentiometers, and trim pots. They are also suitable for quality control and instrumentation laboratories for calibration of process control instruments, various types of thermocouples such as J, K, R, S & T, RTDs, and engineering laboratories for resistance simulation and instrument calibration.
The DC Standard Resistor Model 55X-SR is designed to provide highly stable and reliable resistance performance. These precision standards are suitable for applications where accurate standard resistance values and standard precision resistor values are required for calibration and resistance measurement.
To ensure stringent accuracy, high degree of stability, and utmost reliability, manganin wire and strips have been used to construct these standard resistors. These standards incorporate manganin coils that have been subjected to prolonged ageing and heat treatment to improve stability and reduce the temperature coefficient of the terminals.
The resistance element is sealed in an aluminum container having moisture-free oil. The use of oil improves the cooling effect, which in turn imparts greater stability to resistance. The unit provides reliable standard resistance performance for precision calibration and measurement applications.
For more accurate work, the recommended wattage dissipation is 10 milliwatts, but up to 1 watt may be dissipated without harm to the element.
