Brochure/specifications in pdf format Manual - SBE 9plus, 11plus V2, & 17plus V2 Configuration - SBE 9plus, 11plus V2, & 17plus V2
Following
consultation with the US National Institute of Standards and Technology,
Sea-Bird's metrology lab was configured to achieve temperature precision of 50 µK and accuracy of 0.0005° C. To obtain this performance, premium primary
references, including four Jarrett water triple-point cells (with maintenance
bath) and an Isotech gallium melt cell, are operated in conjunction with two YSI
8163 standards-grade platinum resistance thermometers and an ASL Model F18
Automatic Temperature Bridge. IAPSO standard seawater and a Guildline 8400B
AutoSal provide the highest obtainable salinity accuracy of 0.002 PSU.
SBE 911plus temperature and conductivity sensors are calibrated in low-gradient, computer-controlled baths capable of transferring Sea-Bird metrology lab accuracies within 0.0005° C and 0.001 PSU.
Calibration data from Sea-Bird's computer-controlled baths are collated to produce certificates showing the latest results. Overplots of previous calibrations allow the user to judge the stability of the sensor over time.
SBE 911plus Digiquartz pressure calibrations are performed by Paroscientific, Inc. using a DH Model 5206 Primary Pressure Standard (oil-operated dead weight tester) certified to an accuracy of 0.01% of reading (0.7 dbar at 6800 meters depth). Cross-comparison against independent standards has established the consistent accuracy of the Paroscientific calibrations.
Accuracy and stability of the SBE 911plus quartz master clock is judged against a Spectracom Model 8163 reference oscillator phase-locked to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology's WWVB 60 kHz broadcast signal.
