Principles of Temperature Metrology

Class size is limited to just 25 people, so register today to reserve a seat! Hart Temperature School Faculty When we say you’ll learn from experts, we mean it. Our faculty includes leading experts from Hart Scientific in temperature metrology, electronics, primary standards, infrared, and instrumentation. Our faculty is not only knowledgeable, they all know how to teach and make your learning experience effective and enjoyable.

Give your career a boost with training from Hart Scientific.

Our Principles of Temperature Metrology seminar gives you the skills you need to do your job better. The members of our faculty are the right people to learn from because they deal with tough temperature metrology questions on a daily basis. Whether you’re a technician or a manager, our seminar will help you get ahead in your career.

"It was one of the best training courses I have attended."

That’s what Keith Decker from a company that is a leader in the development of innovative therapies for serious illnesses, had to say about the Temperature Metrology course he attended last October.

Keith is coming back to Hart for more training, but this time he’s bringing a coworker with him. Come to our Principles of Temperature Metrology course (our improvement on the Temperature Metrology course that Keith attended) to see this training for yourself.

Topics for this course range from the selection and usage of calibration equipment to the theory behind good calibrations. This includes knowing how to use SPRTs and other high-accuracy standards and how to keep your working standards performing at their highest levels. Are you working on laboratory accreditation? In this course we also discuss accreditation and compliance, especially dealing with ISO 17025 issues. Not only will we cover actual calibration techniques, we’ll show you how various instruments such as readouts, dry-wells, and calibration baths work and the principles behind why they work the way they do. You’ll learn to choose the most cost-effective approach for specific applications, and then we’ll get into enough basic uncertainty analysis to get your feet wet.

While you’re in town, stay another two days for one of our specialized courses: Advanced Topics in Temperature Metrology or Temperature Calibration Product Training. Check the registration form for dates where these courses are combined.
