Suitable as a calibration standard for RTDs and thermocouples, the model 5624 10-W platinum resistance thermometer (PRT) reads temperatures to 1,000°C. Its accuracy is 0.055°C, including short-term ...

These grids are reliant on high-powered transformers to generate energy, and when pushed too far, the risk of power outages or costly equipment failures increases. Balancing sustainability with ...

One of the original activities of the National Institute of Standards & Technology is now history. As of March 1, NIST no longer provides calibration services for mercury thermometers. The move marks ...

Better thermometers might be possible as a result of a discovery, where physicists have found a way to calibrate temperature measurements by monitoring the tiny motions of a nanomechanical system that ...

The Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS) has announced guidelines for Infrared Temperature Guns that are being used to test body temperature, including that they be tested and calibrated by the ...
