TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION PROCEDURE: Flashcards

1
Q

Place all the thermometers and the
electronic meter probes into the room temp water. You need to keep the thermometers and
probes approximately in the center of the water and off the bottom. Stir the water continuously
and watch the temperature readings on the electronic meters to stabilize.

Q

On the data sheet, begin to record the water temperatures from each meter and the NIST

Q

Record the stick temperature thermometer readings on the data sheet. As before, record NIST
readings at the same time. You want to read the temps while the tips are in the water to the
nearest whole degree. Remember to continuously stir the water to maintain consistent
temperature throughout the water.
