1. check the thermo couple against the data sheet.
2. Based on the operating environment, temperature, and the process, the calibrating instrument to be selected as
: a) Thermocouple calibrator and thermometer b) Dry block calibrator c) Liquid micro bath temperature calibrator
3. Verify valid calibration certificates traceable to a National Standards laboratory.
4. From the manufacturer's instruction manual, select the operating ranges required.
5.Ensure all polarities are correct and all connections are tight
6.Confirm that the accuracy is with in required tolerances.
7. If confirmed by operations (owner) the instrument to be checked at three points low, mid and high using a temperature controlled bath.

Where the protecting tube is not large enough to permit the insertion of
an additional thermocouple, it is necessary to remove the service
thermocouple and to replace it with a checking thermocouple. When this
method is used, it is essential that stable temperature
conditions be maintained. In general, the higher temperature or more
contaminating the atmosphere, the more frequently checks should be
made .[ ISA-MC96.1-1982, Appendix D- Sec D3.2, Thermocouples-
checking procedures]
SAES-J -400,
Sec. 3.2
Large temperature gradients can exist in commonly used furnaces and
other devices, and points physically close together may be at surprisingly
different temperatures. The procedure of checking a thermocouple
installation by means of a checking thermocouple inserted through a
furnace door or otherwise installed in a different part of the apparatus
from the service thermocouple is not recommended, since the
thermocouple reading may fail to agree and yet both may be correct.[

Checking thermocouples or secondary standards should be
homogeneous and uncontaminated. Any new thermocouple may be
used, but it should be checked against a primary standard and tagged
with its deviation from the standard curve. If a user does not have the
equipment and
technique for doing this, calibrated and tagged thermocouples are
available. The National Bureau of Standards or other standardizing
laboratories will furnish a report on the temperature-EMF characteristics
of a submitted thermocouple..[ ISA-MC96.1-1982, Appendix D- Sec

D.3.5 The accuracy of a checking thermocouple or secondary standard
will become questionable after use. Noble metal thermocouples may
normally be relied upon for a considerable period of use, provided that
the checking temperatures have not been avoided. Base metal
thermocouples used for checking purposes should be checked
frequently. NOTE: Base metal couples should not be used for checking
purposes below 480C (900F), if they are exposed between checks at
temperatures above 760C (1400F).[ ISA-MC96.1-1982, Appendix D-
