Temperature Measurement and Calibration

Refine your knowledge of temperature measurement and calibration with the UK's leading metrology experts.

Overview

This is a two or three day course that concentrates on those methods of temperature measurement that are of greatest technological and industrial importance, covering the range –200 °C to 3000 °C.

This course is a mixture of lectures and laboratory sessions and covers the necessary background to the measurement of temperature and calibration of temperature-measuring instruments. Full course notes will be provided. However, the emphasis will be on practical aspects of temperature measurement, calibration and traceability.

The third day is optional, but will provide opportunities for more in-depth training and hands-on experience of some of the calibration techniques used in the NPL Temperature laboratory.

Learning outcomes

To understand measurement techniques; thermodynamic background and temperature scales; calibration techniques; and traceability and accreditation
Hands-on laboratory sessions covering fixed points, resistance thermometers, thermocouples, radiation thermometers and dry block calibrators
Optional third day providing in-depth, hands-on experience of some of the laboratory calibration techniques

Learners will receive an NPL Certificate of Attendance.
