How do we calibrate a thermometer?
- HOW TO CALIBRATE. A THERMOMETER.
- Fill a large container with crushed ice. Add clean tap water until the container is full. Stir the mixture well.
- Thermometers should be calibrated regularly to make sure the readings are correct. The ice-point method is the most widely used method to calibrate a thermometer.
