Online Seminar: Calibration of Thermometers
What You Will Learn in This Seminar
In this seminar, learn how to correctly calibrate resistance thermometers and thermocouples.
We will show you how to meet all calibration requirements. We will discuss typical errors and how to avoid them. The technical knowledge provided and the exchange of experience with participants and speakers will give you confidence in your daily work.

Benefits of the Seminar
Virtual Conference
In our seminar, you can actively participate. You can ask questions at any time and exchange experiences with others. We set up a virtual conference room for this purpose. It is therefore not a webinar where you just listen.
KlasmeierConnect
With group chat and direct messaging, you can exchange ideas with participants and speakers, watch videos, and download PDFs in the KlasmeierConnect Community.
Access remains available even after the seminar.
Documentation
You will receive all content, as well as the certificate of participation for the seminar, in the form of digital handouts. In addition, we record all modules for you. If you are unsure about your laboratory work or want to look something up, you will be well-equipped.

How the Online Seminar Works
The content is distributed for both seminar parts across four consecutive modules each. One module lasts 60 minutes each.
And don’t worry if you can’t be there live on one of the dates: We record all modules for you and make them available to you afterwards in the KlasmeierConnect Community at your convenience.
Seminar Content
Part 1: Basic Knowledge of Thermometers and Calibration
Module 1 – Fundamentals of Calibrations
Learn which fundamentals you need to know and which requirements you must fulfill when calibrating thermometers.
Requirements for the calibration of thermometers
Legal requirements according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025
Difference between testing laboratories, calibration laboratories, and weights and measures offices
Transfer of measurement uncertainties
Module 2 – How Thermocouples Work
As a basis for calibration, it is important to know how thermometers work. In this module, get to know the functional principle and physical basics of thermocouples.
Functional principle and fundamentals (Seebeck effect)
Generation of thermoelectric voltage
Design and construction of thermocouples
Thermocouple reference junction
Module 3 – How Resistance Thermometers Work
As a continuation of the second module, you will learn in this session how resistance thermometers (for example PT100) work.
Functional principle of resistance thermometers
PT100 and other thermometer types
Design and construction of various thermometer types and temperature sensors
Resistance measurement: DC vs. AC
Module 4 – Calibration Procedure – From Goods Receipt to Calibration Certificate
How does a calibration work in practice? In this module, we show you how a temperature calibration laboratory operates.
Part 2: Performing a Calibration
Module 5 – Equipment Technology and Procedures for the Calibration of Thermometers
What technology do you need to perform a calibration? Which devices are necessary and useful? In this module, we show you which technology you need to successfully calibrate thermometers and meet all guidelines and requirements.
Implementation of DKD guidelines
Advantages and disadvantages of DKD guidelines (Is the application of a DKD guideline always useful?)
Setup and execution of a comparison calibration
Calibration at temperature fixed points
Module 6 – Calibration of Thermocouples
Differences between an industrial calibration and a calibration at DAkkS level
Implementation of a calibration according to guideline DKD-R 5-3
Limitations of the DKD guideline
Module 7 – Calibration of Resistance Thermometers
Differences between an industrial calibration and a calibration at DAkkS level
Implementation of a calibration according to guideline DKD-R 5-3
Limitations of the DKD guideline
Current topic: Consideration of the inhomogeneity of thermocouples
Module 8 – Calibration at Temperature Fixed Points
Functional principle and use of temperature fixed points
The International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90) and its further development
The ITS-90 characteristic curve in practice
