PROCEDURE: Cold Method
Fill the container with 60% cubed ice and 40% water. (For crushed use a 50:50 ratio)
Place thermometer stem into ice water solution (sensor must be completely submerged)
Read the thermometer after 2 minutes.
If the thermometer does not read 32° F (+/- 2° F) or 0° C (+/- .5°C), adjust accordingly.
Hot Method
Fill the container with hot water (> 150°F).
Place Reference Thermometer into the hot water, ensuring the tip is submerged at the most minuscule 2 ½ inches. Assure the reference thermometer reads at least 150°F.
Place the handheld thermometer into the hot water for at least one minute by immersing the tip to a minimum depth of 2 ½ inches, ensuring the tip does not touch the bottom. Mixing the water is suggested.
*Calibration Frequency: Check the Calibration of thermometers daily and when accidentally dropped.
**Observation Parameters: Thermometers must be accurate to at least +/- 2°F from 32°F or Minimum 150°F for Hot.
