Thermometer Calibration
Calibrationhouse ensures thermometers provide accurate temperature measurements, supporting reliability in medical, industrial, and laboratory applications.
What is thermometer calibration?
Thermometer calibration ensures that temperature measurement devices provide accurate readings, helping to maintain safety and compliance in industries such as food processing, healthcare, and chemical storage. Calibration involves comparing the thermometer’s readings with a highly accurate temperature reference standard to verify its accuracy.
Why is it important to calibrate a thermometer?
Inaccurate temperature readings can have serious consequences, from food safety risks to incorrect chemical storage conditions or faulty medical diagnoses. Regular calibration helps:
- Ensure compliance with industry regulations
- Maintain process control and quality assurance
- Prevent financial losses due to faulty temperature measurements
- Support health and safety standards in critical applications
Does Calibrationhouse offer on-site thermometer calibration?
Yes, Calibrationhouse provides on-site thermometer calibration across the UK. On-site calibration is typically conducted using electrical simulation, making it a convenient option for businesses that require minimal downtime. A more comprehensive laboratory calibration service is available at our Durham facility, using liquid baths, infrared calibrators, freezers, and dry blocks to cover a wider range of calibration parameters.
What types of thermometers can Calibrationhouse calibrate?
Calibrationhouse has extensive experience calibrating a wide range of thermometers, including:
- Digital thermometers
- Infrared thermometers
- Liquid-in-glass thermometers
- Industrial temperature probes
- Thermocouples
- Resistance temperature detectors (RTDs)
- Hygrometers with temperature measurement functions
How often should a thermometer be calibrated?
The recommended calibration frequency depends on the industry and usage conditions. As a general guideline:
- Thermometers used in critical applications (e.g., healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and food safety) should be calibrated annually or more frequently.
- Industrial thermometers may require calibration every 6 to 12 months, depending on manufacturer recommendations and operating conditions.
Does Calibrationhouse provide UKAS-accredited thermometer calibration?
Yes, Calibrationhouse offers UKAS-accredited calibration for thermometers to certain parameters. For requirements beyond UKAS certification, we also provide traceable calibration services to national standards. Please contact our team to discuss your specific calibration needs.
