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
to employ suitable processes for calibrating and using temperature measurement equipment
to identify various sources of error that affect temperature measurements
to develop the technical understanding required to become a NATA signatory

Topics

The topics covered include:

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
