The Role Of Temperature Calibration In Protecting Food Safety

VISTA, Calif. - Dec. 6, 2024 - PRLog -- Axiom Test Equipment, an electronic test equipment rental and sales company has published a new blog post that covers how temperature calibration tools such as dry blocks and calibration baths are precise, accurate tools for measuring temperatures during food production cycles. Complying with food temperature safety regulations helps deliver safe foods with long shelf lives, while noncompliance can result in health issues with serious legal consequences.

Dry blocks and temperature calibration baths are both capable of measuring wide temperature ranges with high resolution and accuracy although they work in much diverse ways. A temperature dry block heats or cools a metal block to a precise temperature. The block features predrilled, standardized holes for insertion of industry-accepted temperature sensors and probes for measurements. In contrast, a temperature calibration bath relies on heating or cooling a liquid across a wide temperature range. The temperature of the liquid must be precisely controlled so that calibration of sensors and thermometers can be performed with a high degree of accuracy across the full volume of the temperature bath.

Consistently controlled temperatures prevent the growth of harmful bacteria in processed and packaged foods and can halt the growth of foodborne illnesses.
