Temperature stability is one of the core elements for successful thermocouple calibration. During the calibration process, maintaining the stability of the standard temperature source is extremely critical. For commonly used standard sources such as thermostats, their temperature control systems must have high sensitivity and rapid response capabilities. When a tiny temperature fluctuation occurs, it can quickly adjust the heating or cooling power to control the temperature deviation within a very small range. Ideally, the fluctuation accuracy can reach ±0.01°C.
In addition, the optimization of the heat conduction path also affects temperature stability. When designing the calibration device, ensure that the thermal contact between the measuring end of the thermocouple and the standard temperature source is good and uniform, reducing thermal resistance and avoiding temperature gradients caused by uneven heat conduction, so as to ensure that the temperature sensed by the thermocouple is consistent with the standard temperature. For example, using materials with high thermal conductivity to make contact components and carefully designing the contact structure to allow uniform heat transfer can significantly improve the temperature stability during calibration, laying a solid foundation for obtaining accurate calibration results.
