SIP-SOP03-R0-2017 SOP Temperature Transmitter Calibration

The document provides a standard operating procedure for calibrating a temperature transmitter. It outlines that temperature sensors drift over time, so the entire temperature measurement system including the sensor and transmitter should be calibrated. The procedure involves isolating the sensor from the process, immersing it in a temperature source, connecting the temperature standard and transmitter output to a meter, powering the loop, adjusting the temperature source to test points, and recording readings to determine if an adjustment is needed.

A. Overview
In industrial process industries, temperature measurement equipment usually has two components: a
sensing device such as an RTD or thermocouple and a transmitter to read and relay the signal to the
control system.
All sensors, including RTDs, drift with time. Thus, testing the transmitter and not the sensor could result in
misjudgment regarding a systems performance. To avoid this potential problem, process instrument
mmanufacturers recommend including the temperature sensor in loop calibration to prove the
effectiveness of the entire system.

B. Calibrating a Temperature Transmitter at Bench


Seventy-five percent of the errors in a temperature measurement system come from the sensor. Choose
a temperature standard with a 90 degree angle bend to ensure both the temperature standard and the
transmitter fi in the dry-well at the same time.

To Perform The Test


For every calibration, its need to refer Temperature transmitters specification manual instruction for
calibrating the specific Temperature transmitter and also concern to Temperature transmitter position
installation on field as following below.

Step
Step Items Description
No.
1 Isolate the sensor from the process.
Fully immerse the sensor into a precision temperature source such as a dry-well or bath
2
capable of covering the required temperature range.
Connect the temperature standard and 4-20 mA output of the transmitter to a suitable meter or
3
calibrator (for example, the process electronics meter)
Power the loop. (The Temperature calibrator and the process electronics in a Field Metrology
4
Well have this capability).
Adjust the temperature of the bath or dry-well to each of the test points. (With Field Metrology
5
Wells, these test points can be preprogrammed and automated.)
At each test point, monitor and record the readings of the temperature standard and the local
6
or remote readings connected to the transmitter output.
Also, record the 4-20 mA output of the transmitter to determine which device needs adjustment
7
if an adjustment is required.
