Abstract
A methodology includes circulating a temperature-controlled and flow-rate-controlled medium through a container at a controlled flow rate and submerging a thermistor with the medium. With the thermistor submerged, a power output of the thermistor is determined and compared to a power criterion, after which classification of the thermistor occurs based on a comparison of the power output to the power criterion. The methodology can include submerging a reference thermistor within the medium and determining a reference power output of the reference thermistor with the reference thermistor submerged within the medium, the power criterion determined based on the reference power output.
