Temperature calibration refers to the calibration
of any device used in a system that measures
temperature. Most importantly, this usually means
the temperature sensor, itself, which is typically a
platinum resistance thermometer (PRT or PT-100),
thermistor, or thermocouple. Readings from these
thermometers are made by thermometer readout
devices which measure their electrical outputs
and convert them to temperature according to the
International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90).
Thermometers are typically calibrated by placing
them in a stable temperature environment (heat
source) and comparing their output to that of a
calibrated reference thermometer or standard
thermometer. Fluke Calibration provides three
general categories of heat sources:industrial heat
sources (dry-well calibrators, portable calibration
baths, Micro-Baths, etc.) for field use; fluid baths
and thermocouple furnaces for laboratory use; and
fixed-point cells for primary calibrations.Fluke
Calibration also offers a variety of reference
thermometers, including SPRTs, and thermometer
readout instruments.
In addition, Fluke Calibration provides laboratory
and field solutions for calibrating the electronics
used in temperature measurement circuits.
