Portable Field Temperature Calibration System

Abstract

This thesis work discusses the design for a new portable temperature calibration system. The system is used by field technicians to perform calibrations at a customers site. A new system recommendation is needed to replace current older systems. This work focuses on temperature calibrators and usability requirements. This thesis begins by studying the required specifications and discussing feedback acquired from users of the current system. Then multiple possible units are specified using manufacturer information. By comparing these specifications, a recommendation for a unit is made. The resulting comparison shows that most units have very similar specifications. The most significant features are the ones affecting usability and versatility.
