Hi all,
Need some explanation regarding the following. We have some gas fired ovens in the facility that have type J thermocouples installed. The signal is fed back to the pLC rack where the PID temp loop takes over and sends temp value to HMI screen. The question came up for a potential medical customer as how do we know our oven temps are accurate and actually reading the correct temp. This leads me to investigate how we can accomplish this and show that they are reading accurately as we have never done this before.We have a calibrated thermocouple simulator in house but we have no calibrated thermocouples. Can anyone explain how best to go about verify the temp accuracy and also what is the difference between a calibrated and non- calibrated thermocouple. Thanks
