Temperature and Humidity

The temperature team at MSL provide a range of calibration services in contact thermometry (including standard platinum resistance thermometers, industrial platinum resistance thermometers and other direct reading electronic thermometers), radiation thermometry (including infrared thermometers and thermal imagers) and hygrometry (including relative humidity sensors and dew point meters). Details can be found in the tables below.
