A calibration body (140) for calibration of a temperature sensor (170). The calibration body comprises a volume (142) capable of containing a calibration fluid with a predetermined temperature and an opening (160) for receiving the temperature sensor. The opening has a flexible opening wall (131) which delimits the sensor (170) from the volume and is capable of tightly engaging the sensor (170). The opening wall (131) comprises a non-elastic wear resistant region (231) facing the opening. The non-elastic wear region (231) is connected to a path compensator (232) capable of adjusting a length of the opening wall (131) with an amount corresponding to the path around the temperature sensor (170) in the non-elastic region (231). The non-elastic region (231) can comprise a reinforced sheet material and/or a coating. An apparatus comprising the calibration body (140) and a separate pressure body (120) is also disclosed.
Calibration body for calibration of at least one temperature sensor, the calibration body comprising a volume capable of containing a calibration fluid with a predetermined temperature, an opening for receiving the temperature sensor extending from a first surface of the calibration body into the volume of the body, the opening having a flexible inner wall delimiting the sensor from the volume and capable of tightly engaging the sensor, characterised in that the inner wall comprises a non-elastic wear resistant region facing the opening, and that the non-elastic wear region is connected to a path compensator capable of adjusting a length of the inner wall with an amount corresponding to the path around the temperature sensor in the non-elastic region.
Apparatus for calibration of at least one temperature sensor, the apparatus comprising the calibration body according to any preceding claim, wherein the calibration body further comprises a displaceable outer wall, and a pressure body capable of exerting a pressure on the displaceable outer wall.
