Understanding Thermocouple Accuracy Drift
One constant in industrial processing is that accuracy drift in a measurement device is something to be avoided. For critical applications, where temperature measurements directly influence performance, even a slight drift in the accuracy of a device like a thermocouple can lead to significant issues.
Yet, consumers continuously find that many of the thermocouples out there on the market end up needing to be recalibrated or replaced all together (sometimes after an annoyingly short period of time) due to, you guessed it, accuracy drift...
Common Techniques to Calibrate Thermocouples
Temperature measurement is possible through several means. We commonly use thermometers for measuring temperature. However, for precision measurements, where even a small spike in temperature requires to be recorded, we use advanced forms of measurement devices like thermocouples. Thermocouples are measurement devices that can read very slight temperature changes. Hence, they are widely used in applications where accuracy is of utmost importance.
However, like any measurement device, the efficiency of thermocouples will deteriorate overtime under constant use. At this point, the thermocouple needs recalibration...
