Re: Calibrating Thermocouples - Policy For and How To
hello GW! Welcome to the Cove!
I'll start off with some questions.
1. What is your accuracy requirements for the equipment?
2. Is this something this company has been doing in the past, or is it new?
3. Are the thermocouples as such they can be removed, while still being attached to the controller/indicator?
4. What kind of calibration standards do you currently have?
You can simulate a standard signal into the controller. Then, purchase/calibrate thermocouples separately. You can calibrate them as a loop in a dry block setup. Or, you can perform a direct comparison with a standard probe.
There are a number of different scenarios that can play out, depending on your requirement, your application, and your capability.
