Note: Dry Blocks cannot be utilized for Verification to manufacturers specifications (0.1°C) as
they do not have the necessary Uncertainty.
If your verification strategy is to do a periodic pre-Verification and post Verification of the
process qualification, then the Verification criteria is usually < 0.5°C. In this case the above-
mentioned baths or Kaye Dry Blocks can be utilized as they provide adequate uncertainty as
compared to the criteria.

Note: The sensor tips of bendable or flexible loggers should be fully inserted to the bottom of
the well. Rigid loggers with shorter tips have to utilize a liquid bath.
Pressure Sensors
In order to verify the pressure sensors, meet the calibration accuracy specification, the
pressure calibration equipment must have an accuracy of 0.15% full scale (of 5 bar) or better.
