Calibrating temperature sensors involves the following steps:
Preparation: Gather the sensor, calibrator, and reference thermometer.
Stabilization: Allow the sensor and calibrator to reach a stable temperature.
Comparison: Compare the sensor’s readings with the reference thermometer.
Adjustment: Adjust the sensor if necessary to match the reference.
Documentation: Record the results and issue a calibration certificate.
Regular calibration ensures accurate temperature measurements and extends the sensor’s lifespan.
Key takeaways:
Follow a systematic process for accurate calibration.
Document results for traceability and compliance.
