Course description - Temperature
This is a 2-3 day course, covering the range –200 °C to 3000 °C, the course will concentrate on those methods of measurement which are of greatest technological and industrial importance.The lectures will cover the necessary background to the subject and full course notes will be provided. However, the emphasis will be on practical aspects of temperature measurement, calibration and traceability, with a lot of time being spent in laboratories.The optional third day will provide opportunities for more in-depth training and ‘hands-on’ experience of some of the calibration techniques used in the laboratory.
Course description - Humidity
This is a 2 day course covering dew point, relative humidity and other humidity quantities, the course will concentrate on methods of measurement which are of greatest technological relevance to attendees.The course will cover measurement techniques and instrumentation, practical use of instruments, calibration, examples of good practice, calculations and conversions 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. This will be reinforced with talks on uncertainties, traceability and accreditation.
