The device is designed to calibrate a thermocouple for a temperature range of 0 to 100 degrees Celsius. During the calibration process, the thermocouple is first immersed in ice water to represent 0°C, and then in boiling water to represent 100°C. This procedure is repeated until a linear calibration is obtained, ensuring that the thermocouple accurately reflects the true temperatures of ice and boiling water. A millivolt (mV) meter is provided to measure the corresponding voltage generated by the thermocouple during calibration.
