TEST PROCEDURE FOR OVEN TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS
ELECTRIC OVENS
The following is the preferred method to be used when calculating any Mean Oven Centre
Temperature (M.O.C.T.).
Equipment: - Surface Temperature Probe
Digital Thermometer
Thermocouple
Temperature Test Gate
1. Remove all cooking utensils from the oven cavity and place a single rod shelf on the runners
nearest the centre of the oven.
2. Fit the thermocouple leads to the temperature test gate so that the thermocouple junction is
positioned as near to the centre of the gate as possible. See Fig. 7.
3. Position the gate on the centre of the rod shelf so that the large plates on the gate are facing the
direct heat source.
4. Route the thermocouple wire out through the front of the oven and close the oven door.
5. Turn the oven thermostat up past the 200°C setting, then slowly reduce the temperature to 200°C.
6. Measure the temperature of the oven at the fourth thermostat overshoot and the fourth
temperature undershoot. See Fig. 8.
