## Temperature block for industrial use

**Features**

![Beamex FB field temperature calibration dry block](https://www.beamex.com/app/uploads/2016/06/Beamex-FBxxx-v1-scaled-1.jpg)

#### Lightweight, portable

The Beamex FB field temperature block is ideal for industrial field use. It only weighs about 8 kg, and it is small enough to carry around.

#### Speed

The Beamex FB is extremely quick to reach various temperatures. It cools down to –25 °C (-13 °F) in 15 minutes and heats up to +660 °C (1220 °F) in 15 minutes. This saves time and increases productivity.

#### Accuracy and performance

The Beamex FB is an easily portable unit that also provides excellent calibration accuracy. The display accuracy is up to ±0.2 °C and its control technology provides great stability up to ±0.01 °C. The dual zone-controlled block provides excellent axial uniformity up to ±0.04 °C and radial uniformity up to ±0.01 °C.

#### Smart reference sensors

The Beamex FB has an internal reference thermometer (in R models), which enables connections to the Beamex smart reference sensors. These sensors have a memory that contains all of the sensor correction data. This enables plug-and-play use of the reference sensor.

#### Accredited calibration

Each Beamex FB field temperature block is delivered with an accredited calibration certificate.

#### Usability

The large LCD display, function keys and multilingual, menu-based user interface make the Beamex FB easy to use. A graphic and audible stability indicator let you know when a block is stable. The HOT warning light indicates when the block is hot (over +50 °C). It blinks as long as the block is too hot to touch, even when the unit is switched off or when the mains cable is disconnected.

#### Communication with Beamex calibrators

The communication port enables communication with selected Beamex MC calibrators for automatic calibration and documentation. Combined with a Beamex MC6 calibrator, loop calibrations are possible with conventional, HART and Fieldbus temperature transmitters with sensors.
