发明名称 System, method, and apparatus for the calibration of analog type thermometers for use in providing temperature quality control in the production of beverage and/or food products
摘要 An analog thermometer calibration apparatus may comprise a substantially flat piece of steel or other suitably rigid material having at least one hexagonal or appropriately non-circular shaped aperture or opening formed designed to be at least generally complimentary in size and shape to the calibration adjustment member or projection of an analog type thermometer such that the two may engage in a substantially complimentary manner that will permit rotation of the thermometer readout dial and to prevent the relative rotation of the base or lower portion of the analog thermometer connected to a temperature sensing stem probe during the rotation of the analog thermometer dial face during a calibration procedure. A round or other suitably shaped aperture opening may be included to accommodate support and passage of the temperature sensing probe of a more accurate digital type thermometer (or a recently calibrated thermometer of any type) in order to provide a calibration reference temperature reading. The dial of an analog thermometer may be rotated relative to the base and temperature sensing probe stem portion until the temperature indication pointer on the dial face of the analog thermometer substantially equals or matches the reference temperature reading of the digital thermometer reading or the known temperature of the calibration reference liquid without the need to remove, adjust and/or reinsert the analog thermometer into the calibration reference temperature liquid multiple times to perform an accurate analog thermometer temperature readout calibration process on one or a plurality of analog thermometers in a substantially simultaneous manner.
