Abstract

Calibration is required time to time for maintaining the accuracy of the instrument. Thermostat is one the device which is used to maintain the temperature. Calibration is done by using the thermometer as a standard device. Due to external effect the accuracy of the thermostat varies up to 5 degree to 8 degree. And the experimental setup contains a waterbath. And after the calibration the output result comes to calibrate the thermostat to 5degree.
