Thermometer calibration in Perth
Handheld digital thermometers and their probes checked against a reference thermometer at points across the range you actually use.
Digital thermometers are everywhere from food production to HVAC commissioning, and each one carries a probe that ages faster than the display. AmpTech calibrates handheld digital thermometers and probes in our Caversham lab against a reference thermometer traceable to national standards, at points across your working range.
Types of digital thermometers and probes we calibrate
- Handheld digital thermometers with fixed or plug-in probes
- Penetration and surface probe thermometers
- Food-safety thermometers
- Multi-channel thermometer readouts
What the calibration covers
- Reading against a reference thermometer at points between −25 °C and +140 °C, with the probe you use
- Each interchangeable probe checked individually where you send more than one
- Readout accuracy on instruments that accept external probes
- Response and stability at each test point

How often should a digital thermometer be calibrated?
Twelve months is standard. Thermometers used in food safety or in regulated storage checks are frequently placed on 6 months, and probes that see hot processes or cleaning chemicals age faster still.
Why digital thermometers and probes drift
The probe is the weak point: repeated heating and cooling, moisture ingress at the cable and physical damage all change its output. The electronics drift more slowly. A thermometer that reads correctly at room temperature can be several degrees out at the top of its range, which is why calibration uses points across the range rather than a single check.
What your certificate records
- As-found and as-left readings at each temperature point, per probe
- Reference thermometer and equipment used, with traceability
- Environmental conditions at the time of calibration
References we work to
- Manufacturer's published accuracy specification for the instrument and probe
- ISO 9001 clause 7.1.5 — monitoring and measuring resources
- Your food-safety or process procedures, where they set a tighter tolerance
Calibrated in our Caversham lab
Digital thermometer calibration is bench work, so it happens in our lab rather than at your premises. Drop instruments in, bookpickup & drop-off across Perth, or freight them from regional WA. Every certificate is issued under our ISO 9001 certified quality management system and is traceable to national standards.
