The 5th SMIIC MC Training within the SMIIC MC Work Plan 2024 – 2026 V1 was the Calibration of Platinum Resistance Thermometers and Digital Thermometers by Comparison Method  that took place on the  15 October 2024 virtually, technically hosted by SMIIC General Secretariat. 18 experts participated in the training.

The training was hosted by NMI: TÜBİTAK UME

General Description: The training covers information on the calibration of Platinum Resistance Thermometers and Digital Thermometers by Comparison Method using calibration baths will be the scope of this study.

Objective, expected outcome: This training course aims to understand the calibration of Platinum Resistance Thermometers and Digital Thermometers on the industrial level.

Who should attend: The training should be attended by the staff working in metrology laboratories at the level of national metrology institutes or laboratories who are involved or planned to be involved in calibration of Platinum Resistance Thermometers and Digital Thermometers
