Temperature Calibration

Calibration by comparison performed within either a dry block calibrator or an isothermal block within a temperature-controlled enclosure.  

Accuracy

Temperature sensor calibration is carried out in four essential stages: preparation, temperature stabilisation, measurement, and reporting.

We use two systems depending on the calibration range required. A dry block calibrator uses an electrically heated metal block with wells of varying diameters to accommodate different probes, covering a range of 0 °C to 100 °C. A temperature controlled chamber maintains a stable, uniform environment in which the probe is placed, with a calibration range of 5 °C to 50 °C.

    UKAS Calibration Service in the range 0 °C to 100 °C with an uncertainty of 0.16 °C.
