Temperature measurement

For those who require an invoice to make a payment, please choose the relevant option after checkout.

This three-day course (9 am to 5 pm) covers the measurement of temperature and the calibration of temperature measuring instruments. It incorporates extensive hands-on practical exercises. Please find the link to the brochure here.

Knowledge and skills

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

• understand the principles of operation of common temperature sensors and their instrumentation, especially thermocouples and resistance, radiation and liquid-in-glass thermometers
• employ suitable processes for calibrating and using temperature measurement equipment 
• identify various sources of error that affect temperature measurements
• develop the technical understanding required to become a NATA signatory

Topics

• physics of temperature measurement
• temperature scale, traceability and international standards
• thermocouple electromotive force, measurement and calibration 
• properties of thermocouples and systematic errors
• infrared and general radiation thermometry and their application
• errors and calibration in radiation thermometry
• calibration baths and furnaces
• digital thermometers 
• resistance thermometry: associated errors and calibration 
• enclosure testing (multi-site measurements)
• liquid-in-glass thermometry
• estimating measurement uncertainty
• extensive hands-on practical exercises in measurement
