What is Traceable®?

Traceable® means that a unit is individually serialized, calibrated, and certified with an unbroken chain of traceability to the NIST.

In the context of measurement science, traceability is the result of a measurement can be traced back to a national authority such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a United States Government Agency within the Commerce Department

Why Traceable®?

For a critically controlled and certified process, make sure that you are using calibrated instruments. Traceable® units come with a unique and individually serialized certificate that shows all the information needed for validation. You can be confident in the readings that you are getting, and our units are always cost effective.

Traceable® Certificate

Multi-point calibration on an individually numbered Traceable® Certificate which assures accuracy from an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 (1750.01) calibration laboratory accredited by A2LA. It indicates traceability of measurements to the SI units through NIST or other recognized national measurement institutes (NMI) that are signatories to the CIPM Mutual Recognition Agreement.

Thomas® Traceable® Products FAQs

1. What are min/max?
Min/max are measurement readings recorded into memory signifying the lowest (minimum) value achieved and highest (maximum) value achieved since instrument’s memory was cleared. Min/max readings are NOT a settable feature; instruments automatically detect min/max.

2. What are hi/lo alarms?
Hi/lo describes a settable alarm. If the measured temperature value of an instrument registers above a high alarm set value, the instrument will alarm. Similarly, if the measured temperature value of an instrument registers below your low alarm set value, the instrument will alarm. Example: If monitoring temperature a low alarm is set to 2°C and high alarm is set to 8°C, alarm will sound if the instrument detects a value below 2°C or above 8°C.

3. What is the function of a bottle/vaccine probe?
Bottle probes are useful for monitoring temperature inside refrigerators where door is likely to be opened on a regular basis. A probe sealed within the bottle mimics temperature responses of products within the refrigerator rather than the air temperature, which will be affected more dramatically by the door opening. Vaccine probe follows the same concept, but is similar dimensions to most vaccine bottles.
