Meeting & Proving AMS2750F Accuracy Requirements

Yokogawa DXAdvanced DX series and SMARTDAC+ GX/ GP series data acquisition stations meet the measurement accuracy requirements stated in AMS2750F Table 3 for Field Test Instruments. When these models are specified for TUS work and for Nadcap auditing purposes, a calibration certificate and AMS2750F thermocouple accuracy certificate should be ordered with the equipment to prove accuracy.

Instrument Calibration:

The calibration certificate validates the instrument measurement calibration for all supported measurement ranges. NIST and ISO 17025 calibration certificates are available. All calibration work is performed in Yokogawa's Newnan, GA ISO 17025-accredited calibration lab. AMS2750F requires a three-month calibration interval for Field Test Instruments. Equipment can be returned to Yokogawa for this purpose or it can be performed by a local accredited calibration lab.

GX90 series I/O modules are removable to allow for easy wiring changes and routine calibration checks.

Calibration Correction

DXAdvanced and GX/GP models provide a post-measurement calibration correction function that allows thermocouple sensor and measurement errors to be zeroed across multiple temperature points. This function uses the thermocouple (TC) correction factors supplied by the TC wire manufacturer and the observed DX or GX measurement error from the thermocouple accuracy certificate to precisely correct the measured value. When these models are used for TUS work, the Yokogawa TUS Report software will separately show TC and recorder correction factors, and allow either corrected or non-corrected data to be used in the report calculations.
