MKT 50 Millikelvin Thermometer on the Road to Success

Anton Paar has been active in the field of temperature measurement since the 1960s. Continuous improvements based on longstanding experience have lead to the development of the highly precise MKT 50 millikelvin thermometer.

This ‘lightweight’ among portable thermometers stands out for its high measuring accuracy of 0.001 °C (1 mK). It can be operated from the mains or from a battery and has Ethernet and RS-232 interfaces for remote control. MKT 50 has a measuring range of -260 °C to +960 °C (13.15 K to 1233.15 K) and is traceable to national standards. It is therefore ideal for use as a reference thermometer for the most accurate temperature measurements, comparison calibrations and fixed-point calibrations for industry, laboratories and research.

MKT 50 is a robust and versatile digital thermometer. It is in use around the world at well-known official calibration institutes such as DAkkS (Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH, formerly DKD, Germany), PTB Physikalisch-technische Bundesanstalt (Germany), ÖKD Österreichischer Kalibrierdienst (Austria), UKAS United Kingdom Accreditation Service and NIST National Institute of Standards and Technology (USA). MKT 50’s excellent accuracy and long-term stability have been confirmed in evaluations by the CMI Czech Metrological Institute, SMU Slovak Institute of Metrology and PTB.
