Frequently Asked Questions

A calibrated thermometer is one that has been tested against a recognised standard and adjusted (if necessary) to ensure its readings are accurate within a known tolerance. This process gives traceability to national or international measurement standards, which is essential for quality control and regulatory compliance.

Thermometer calibration involves comparing its reading to a reference standard at one or more known temperatures. For digital and industrial instruments, this is usually done in a laboratory using precision baths or dry blocks. If the readings deviate, the thermometer can be adjusted (if the model allows) or its correction factors documented.

For basic food or laboratory thermometers, a simple ice-point test (0 °C) or boiling-point test (100 °C at sea level) can be used as a quick check. However, for higher accuracy or regulatory requirements, professional calibration with traceable equipment is recommended.

Some thermometers have an adjustment screw or digital offset setting that lets you bring the reading back into line with a standard. Others must be sent to a calibration service to be professionally adjusted or re-certified. If an instrument cannot be adjusted, you can note a correction factor to apply to its readings.

In Australia, thermometers can be calibrated by accredited laboratories under NATA (National Association of Testing Authorities) guidelines. Using an accredited service ensures your thermometer meets Australian and international standards for traceability.

Costs vary depending on the type of thermometer, the number of points tested, and whether adjustments or repairs are needed. Basic calibrations can be relatively inexpensive, while complex or high-accuracy instruments may require a higher fee. Requesting a quote from a calibration provider will give an exact price for your instrument.
