How to calibrate temperature instruments [Webinar]

Posted by Heikki Laurila on Oct 18, 2018

In this blog post, I will share with you a two-part webinar series titled “How to calibrate temperature instruments”. We did this webinar together with our partner ISA (International Society of Automation).

The webinars covers some theory, many practical things, demonstrations of temperature instrument calibration and Questions & Answers sections.

Uncertainty components of a temperature calibration using a dry block

Posted by Heikki Laurila on Aug 23, 2018

In some earlier blog posts, I have discussed temperature calibration and calibration uncertainty. This time I will be covering the different uncertainty components that you should take into account when you make a temperature calibration using a temperature dry block.

Making a temperature calibration using a dry block seems like a pretty simple and straight forward thing to do, however there are many possible sources for uncertainty and error that should be considered. Often the biggest uncertainties may come from the procedure on how the calibration is done, not necessarily from the specifications of the components.

Let’s turn the heat on!

How to calibrate a pressure switch

Posted by beamexcalibration on Nov 30, 2015

Update March 2020: We have a newer blog post on pressure switches, please find it here: Pressure Switch Calibration

We often get asked questions regarding the calibration of a pressure switch.
Since we didn’t have any videos on the topic on our YouTube channel, our dynamic duo from our US office, Roy and Ned, decided to make one.
