ISO calibration and certification: PCE-T390 contact thermometer

ISO calibration and certification
An ISO calibration certificate can be acquired for this contact thermometer. It includes a control document containing the company contact details consisting on a laboratory calibration and a certification to meet ISO standards. This means that the contact thermometer meets the minimum requirements of the national body of measurement and it can be included in your internal set of measuring instruments. Further information:

Calibration: Control of measurement magnitudes correction for the contact thermometer without the intervention in the measurement system, or the determination of the systematic display deviation in relation to the real value of the measuring magnitude.

Calibration document or certificate: document with the technical properties of the device according to the national organization of measurement.

Calibration interval: to perform correct measurements, devices must be calibrated at regular intervals. This period of time is called calibration interval.  It's difficult to determine this period with accuracy but you should consider the following factors:

·         Performance of the measuring instruments

·         Frequency of use

·         Operating conditions

·         Previous calibrations stability

·         Measuring accuracy required

·         Determining factors of the quality control systems used by companies

This means that user is in charge to check and control the interval between calibrations. We recommend that this internal between calibrations should be between 1 and 3 years. We can also offer our expert advice to solve any questionss relating to the process of establishing a calibration interval.

Take into consideration:
When a contact thermometer is calibrated, this should be done while the temperature sensor being used with the device is attached or with the sensor that came with the thermometer attached. The accuracy of the calibration depends on the device and the sensor combined. In the case of the PCE-T395 thermometer this means that the calibration should be done for up to four temperature sensors.
