the reference temperature is measured using the flexible temperature sensor.
The following points should be observed in connection with the reference flask:

Insert the flexible temperature sensor into the reference flask. The tip of
the temperature sensor must be in the bottom third of the reference flask
(minimum insertion depth: 20 mm).
