10. he European Association of National Metrology Institutes Euromet CG 13 Guideline describes this in detail This paragraph will briefly discuss the parameters above Please note that the importance and pit falls with these parameters are often overlooked More important is to specify these parameters correctly in order to know the measurement uncertainty 2 1 Accuracy of the display compared to a standard Usually a dry well block oven is used in combination with a standard temperature measuring instrument A Unit under test UUT is in that instance calibrated against the said standard Important then is to have a dry well which can hold its temperature very Stable 2 2 Stability Is defined as temperature variation as function of time The Euromet CG 13 guideline uses a 30 minute interval This makes clear that a good stability over a long period of time is actually a good stability 2 3 The axial homogeneity Is probably the most important and forgotten parameter of a dry well block calibrator If one uses a probe with 5 mm length and measure at intervals the temperature while pulling out this probe one can determine the axial gradient Due to its geometry isolation characteristics the heat loss of the probe etc the heating bloc is not homogenise in temperature Differences in the order of magnitude of degrees of Celsius are often found This parameter is very important because usually it is not known how long a PT 100 in a probe is or
