Preparing the Dry Well: Power on the unit, set the target temperature (e.g., 100°C for boiling point verification), and allow 15-20 minutes for stabilization.

Sensor Placement: Insert the thermocouple tip into the well’s center—avoid touching the walls to prevent heat transfer errors.

Data Collection: Use a reference thermometer (traceable to NIST) to record readings. Compare the thermocouple’s output to the dry well’s set point.

Adjustment and Documentation: If discrepancies exceed tolerance, adjust the sensor or log results for recalibration.
Including pro tips like avoiding drafts near the dry well and cleaning wells regularly, this guide ensures reliable, repeatable results.
