FAQ

Calibrating a circular temperature recorder is an essential process to ensure measurement accuracy and data reliability in any industrial application. To calibrate a circular chart recorder or temperature recorder, it is recommended to follow these steps:

  1. Preparation:​ Ensure the recorder is clean, functioning correctly, and has the chart paper installed. Verify that the writing arm moves freely.

  2. Reference Points:​ Use a certified reference thermometer or a temperature calibrator to establish at least three temperature points (low, medium, high) within the recorder's operating range.

  3. Simultaneous Measurement:​ Place the recorder's sensor and the reference equipment's sensor in the same environment (e.g., a controlled temperature bath) and wait for both to stabilize.

  4. Comparison and Adjustment:​ Record the readings from both devices and compare the values. If there is a significant deviation, adjust the recorder's calibration mechanism (usually screws or potentiometers), making small adjustments and verifying the reading after each one.

  5. Verification and Documentation:​ Once adjusted, repeat the measurements at the reference points to confirm the recorder measures within tolerances. Finally, document all calibration data, including readings, date, reference equipment, and the responsible person, which is crucial for metrological traceability and quality audits. Periodic calibration ensures accuracy and prolongs equipment life.
