Changing an instrument's output or reading to correspond to a standard reading is called ________.

• referencing

• balancing

• detection

• calibration

Temperature-measuring instruments measure the temperature of _________.

• vapors only

• vapors and solids only

• vapors, solids, and liquids

• solids and liquids only

For an accurate reading, the thermometer must be __________.

• exposed to ambient air conditions for a specified period of time before use

• calibrated before every use

• checked against a pressure/temperature chart for accuracy

• in contact with the medium long enough for the sensor to become the same temperature as the medium being tested

Thermometer accuracy is more important in lower temperature ranges where small temperature differences can translate into larger percentage errors.
