Calibration Instructions 4
4.2 Set-up of Equipment
To prepare the ice bath:
a) Fill a glass beaker with crushed ice made from distilled water.
b) Fill the beaker with enough distilled water so that ice just
becomes slush, but not enough to float the ice.
c) Insert the reference thermocouple.
Figure 4-2 shows an alternate set-up. Here, a high precision
thermocouple calibrator, such the OMEGAModel CL511, replaces
the DVM, ice bath, voltage source, etc.
