Thermometer Instrument Information

Thermometers are fundamental for accurate temperature monitoring across various fields, from industrial settings to laboratory environments. As a vital part of Fox Valley Metrology’s accredited calibration services, thermometer calibration ensures dependable measurements over time. Our ISO/IEC 17025 accredited services, with full NIST traceability, offering precision calibration for all types of thermometers including:

Glass Mercury Thermometers
Bimetallic Stemmed Thermometers
Infrared (IR) Thermometers
Digital Thermometers
Thermocouples
RTD Thermometers
Laser Thermometers

Our technicians will calibrate your thermometer to the fullest extent. Our standard thermometer calibration process includes five test points, chosen to span its full operational range.

To guarantee accuracy at essential reference points, we also check each thermometer’s readings at both the freezing and boiling points of water.

This careful, multi-point calibration approach ensures your thermometer’s reliability and accuracy across all critical ranges, delivering consistent performance for precise temperature measurement.

What is a Thermometer?

A thermometer is an instrument that measures temperature. It can measure the temperature of a solid such as food, a liquid such as water, or a gas such as air. The three most common units of measurement for temperature are Celsius, Fahrenheit, and kelvin.

Common Thermometer Uses

A thermometer is used for the measurement of processes or items where temperature of the medium being measured (commonly of liquid, gas or surfaces) is critical, such as:
– Ensuring consistent heat levels in processes like injection molding, die casting, or annealing.
– Controlling temperature for food or pharmaceutical production.
– Conducting final checks on temperature-sensitive goods like plastics, composites, or food items.
– Verifying uniform heat application during welding or brazing.

It’s important to calibrate the thermometer (AMS 1900) to ensure accurate measurement.

Do I need to calibrate the thermometer if I just bought it?

Just because a thermometer is brand new doesn’t mean it’s as accurate as it can and should be. A thermometer calibration can ensure its accuracy. This is especially true if calibration of your thermometer is required by your quality procedures before being put into use. Thermometers often do not come from the manufacturer with an accredited calibration certificate.

Why would I need thermometer calibration services?

You may need thermometer calibration services for several reasons. Most often, thermometers are bumped, dropped, exposed to moisture or general wear and tear, causing errors or loss of calibration.

Calibration of your thermometer ensures accurate temperature measurements, which are critical for safety, regulatory compliance, and process control in your processes.

How often is thermometer calibration necessary?

It depends on the type of thermometer and what it’s used for. For example, the frequency you calibrate a cooking thermometer is different than the frequency you calibrate a digital oral thermometer. Most manufacturers generally recommend a one year calibration cycle.

What is the process for calibrating a thermometer?

Calibration involves comparing the thermometer’s readings to a known standard (typically a temperature bath) at specific temperature points across the thermometer’s range of measurement.

Can I calibrate my thermometer myself?

While basic calibration checks can be done using ice water or boiling water, professional calibration is recommended for high-accuracy needs. Reach out for a quote today.

What happens if I use an uncalibrated thermometer?

An uncalibrated thermometer can give inaccurate readings, potentially leading to safety risks, regulatory violations, or compromised product quality.

How much does thermometer calibration cost?

The cost of thermometer calibration varies on its type, accuracy and overall measurement range. Contact us today for a quote for more specific pricing information for your thermometer calibration.

How long does thermometer calibration take?

You can expect an average 3-5 day turnaround for our thermometer calibration service, with faster expedite options offered if needed.

How can I tell if my thermometer needs calibration?

Signs include inconsistent readings, exposure to extreme conditions, or if it hasn’t been calibrated within the recommended timeframe.

Is your thermometer calibration ISO 17025 accredited?

Yes. We provide ISO 17025 accredited thermometer calibrations on all calibrations.

Is your thermometer calibration traceable to national standards?

Yes. We NIST traceable thermometer calibrations on all calibrations.
