Temperature Sensor
Compare readings with a precision NIST-traceable temperature sensor. Calibration
verification should be performed using a Met One Instruments Model 5472 Thermal
Mass to assure that both instruments are at the same temperature. This is an
aluminum mass with drilled recesses for the 085A sensor and a standard temperature
sensor (NIST thermometer or RTD). The mass can be used in air or can be partially
submerged in ice or an ice bath. The 085A sensor should not be submerged.
