A 4-day intermediate course in practical lab skills for comparison calibration of thermistors, RTDs, thermocouples, and other thermometers.

Description
This is a 4-day intermediate course in practical lab skills for comparison calibrations of various sensor types, along with other calibration techniques for greater accuracy. You'll leave knowing how to use SPRTs and other high accuracy standards to keep your working standards performing at their highest levels. 

Course Outline

• Introduction to Temperature Metrology
  • Scales, ITS-90, and fixed points
  • Uncertainty and traceability
• Thermometer Types
  • SPRTs, PRTs, RTDs, and thermistors
  • Thermocouples - noble vs base metal
  • Liquid-in-glass: procedure for accuracy
  • Reference thermometers
• Components of Uncertainty
  • Heat sources
  • Readouts
• Common Calibration Techniques
  • Thermistors & PRTs
  • Thermocouples - ASTM, spool testing
  • LIG - ASTM - specific requirements
• Optimizing your measurements
  • Test uncertainty ratios
  • Error budgeting
  • Profiling a heat source
  • Mathematics
• Maintaining your standards
  • Frequency of calibration
  • Uncertainty analysis and SPC
• Compliance Issues
  • Reports, table - pleasing the auditor
  • ISO/IEC 17025, incorporating the new requirements
• Demonstrations

Who should attend?
Those responsible for calibrating in-field standards. Metrologists who do not work heavily with ITS-90 fixed points, but who also seek lower uncertainties through comparison calibrations.

Attendees should have some experience in sensor calibration.
