Dry Block Calibrators – Construction, Evolution, Theory, and Practical Use

Abstract

This course is an introduction to design, construction, evolution, practical use, and common errors associated with dry block temperature calibrators. The course will start by examining known temperature calibration devices, including their benefits and limitations. It will progress to discuss dry block calibrator design, evolution, and progression to the current level of temperature standard. The material will include dry block selection, use, best practices, set up, care, misuses, and common issues experienced while using dry block calibrators. The course will finish with hands-on activities with various levels of dry block calibrators.
