The Modules

Temperature Training: 1 - Introduction

This section introduces Isothermal Technology and asks, "What is temperature?" before moving on to discuss how we measure temperature, and the need for calibration.

Temperature Training: 2 - Two Methods of Calibration

This module explains the two methods of temperature calibration, Comparison Calibration and Fixed Point Calibration. It also introduces the International Temperature Scale and ITS-90 fixed points.

Temperature Training: 3 - Equipping for Industrial Calibration

This module explains about the type of equipment used for industrial calibration of temperature sensors. Includes equipment used for the calibration of thermocouples and platinum resistance thermometers

Temperature Training: 4 - The Secondary Laboratory

This module explains about the type of equipment used in the secondary laboratory. Includes liquid calibration baths, high temperature calibration equipment and instrumentation.

Temperature Training: 5 - The Primary Laboratory and Traceability

Explains the role of the primary laboratory and traceability to primary standards.

Temperature Training 6 - Real World Calibration

Calibration Engineers are often challenged, the temperature sensors are too short to be calibrated, the results are not as expected, the measurements are not reproducible – the list goes on. This section looks at platinum resistance thermometers and thermocouples, examining sources of error and common calibration problems.
