Use the specified immersion and record the remperatute of the emergent colurmn of mercury at each calibration point. The standardization is valid for dhe stem cemperatutes found in your laboratory. In keeping with good laboratory practice ll Inboratory thermometers should be calibrated against a National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) certified thermometer. The calibrated laboratory thermometers should be tagged and fiumbered. A laboratory thermometer calibration chart, showing the thermometer numb, locaton, use inthe laboratory and the necessary corrections, should be maintained. A copy ofthe NIST certfcae forthe certified thermometer should be ikepe with the laboratory calibration char. 3. Thermometers 88°C and 88°F are usually aor standard stock items. They may have to be specially ordered, requiring a delivery time of up o 6 wk. One supplier is VWR Scientific Tablet.
