Sigma Sensors offers different tiers of calibration and accuracy to help customers balance cost with their performance requirements.
Factory Spec
Typical accuracy 0.2 K with sensor-to-sensor <0.1K. This is the most cost-effective option for customers who can tolerate a lower accuracy. Certificate of conformity, traceable
Factory Calibration
ISO9001:2015 calibration with certificate and data. Sensor-to-sensor accuracy <0.05 K and absolute accuracy 0.15 K. This is the best option for customers who need a higher accuracy but do not require an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited calibration.
Accredited Calibration
ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited calibration. Sensor to sensor 0.03K Absolute accuracy 0.1 K (0.2 K, k=2). Includes certificate and data.
Typical specification range for the CW temperature calibration wafer series. Exact specifications depend on purchased configuration. Subject to change.
