Description
Summary:A calibration bath designed for clinical thermometer calibration has been developed. The calibration bath developed is a completely operational system which meets the technical requirement for clinical thermometer calibration, compact in size suitable for on-site calibration and at the same time is affordable for calibration laboratories in Indonesia. It is expected that it will encourage calibration laboratories to open calibration services for clinical thermometers belonging to health service facilities (hospitals, clinics, etc.) which by law have to be verified annually. The calibration bath was successfully characterized and proved to meet the requirement with a total uncertainty from spatial uniformity and temporal stability of 10 mK, well below the clinical thermometer tolerance of 100 mK to 200 mK depending on the type of clinical thermometer.
