A2.2 Calibrationand
Replacement of Thermal
Elements
Two test baths at widely separated temperature in
the measurement range are required for thermal
element calibration. When ordering replacement
thermal element, specify the desired temperature
range. Yokogawa will supply a precalibrated
element. If you wish to check or calibrate an
element yourself, use the following procedure.

FA0210.ai
1. Prepare two test baths at temperatures that are
widely separated on instrument scale.
2. Do not calibrate element in air or against
another element in process.
3. Remove element from process and place it
near a laboratory-grade thermometer in a well-
stired bath.
4. Allow sufcient time for element to reach liquid
temperature.
