Guidelines on the calibration of temperature block calibrators

Link

European Cooperation for Accreditation
EA-10/13 (2000)
This EA publication was produced to improve harmonisation in calibration of temperature block calibrators. This guideline applies to temperature block calibrators in which a controllable temperature is realised in a solid-state block with the aim of calibrating thermometers in the borings of this block. It is valid in the temperature range from -80°C to 1300°C
Guidelines on the calibration of temperature indicators and simulators by electrical simulation and measurement

European Cooperation for Accreditation
EA-10/11
(2000)

This EA publication was produced to give advice on calibrating indicators and simulators by electrical simulation and measurement. This guide is applicable to the calibration of temperature indicators and temperature simulators intended for use with resistance thermometers or standardised thermocouples and of simulators which are intended to emulate the electrical outputs of resistance thermometers or standardised thermocouples
Calibration of thermocouples

EA-10/08 (EAL-G31)
(1997)

This document has been written to meet the need for a basic advisory document for laboratories undertaking calibration of thermocouples, the calibration being carried out in terms of the International Temperature scale of 1990 (ITS-90)
