Knowledge and skills

The course will provide you with the knowledge and skills to:

• use the appropriate calibration procedure and perform periodic in-house checks
• identify various sources of error that affect temperature measurements
• report measurement and calibration results in accordance with industry standards, including legal requirements for traceability

Topics

• the basic principles of measurement and metrological traceability
• the principles of operation and construction of liquid-in-glass thermometers
• different types of liquid-in-glass thermometers
• intrinsic problems: total versus partial immersion, temporary depression and secular change
• calibration of liquid-in-glass thermometers
• calibration workshop
• uncertainty of measurement estimation to ISO GUM¹
• reporting measurement results in accordance with NATA and ISO 17025 requirements
• use and general care of thermometers

¹Participants with limited experience in estimating measurement uncertainty would benefit from first attending the Introduction to Estimating Measurement Uncertainty course.
