Temperature Measurement and Calibration

The Temperature Measurement And Calibration Unit is designed to introduce students to temperature and how different techniques can be employed to measure this variable.

A bench top unit designed to introduce students to temperature, temperature scales and commonly available devices to measure temperature.

• Thermometric properties (physical changes due to temperature) of different sensors are investigated
• Condensing vapour (using a hypsometer) provides an accurate fixed point for calibration
• Stirred hot water bath provides variable temperatures
• Reference Platinum Resistance Thermometer (PRT) with NAMAS calibration supplied
• All electrical sensors can be logged using a PC (not supplied). Optional teaching software is available for data logging
