Temperature and Humidity – Measurement and Calibration Courses
Once again NPL (Teddington, Middx, England) is running its popular training courses on temperature and humidity measurement and calibration. Suitable for technicians and technical managers closely concerned with temperature and/or humidity measurement and calibration, the companion courses concentrate on those methods of measurement which are of greatest technological and industrial importance.The Temperature course (23 to 25 April) will cover temperature scales and standards, including a résumé of the International Temperature Scale of 1990, ITS-90, and the three most important measurement techniques. The five laboratory sessions will be concerned with fixed points, resistance thermometers, thermocouples, radiation thermometers and liquid-in-glass thermometers. These will be supplemented by lectures in calibration techniques, uncertainties, traceability and accreditation. The optional third day will provide opportunities for more in-depth training and 'hands-on' experience of some of the calibration techniques regularly used at NPL.
The Humidity Course (26 to 27 April) will cover measurement techniques and instrumentation, practical use of instruments, calibration, examples of good practice and calculations/conversion between different units.
A tour of the NPL Humidity Laboratory, plus hands-on sessions, will give a practical introduction to humidity measurement and calibration techniques.
