MKT (Mean Kinetic Temperature)
Mean Kinetic Temperature or MKT is used for calculating temperature stress of perishable stock
goods such as medicines or food, during storage and distribution cycles. The MKT is calculated
on a temperature graph opened from an offline DataSuite data file, in History View.
To use the MKT feature:
1. Go to
File > Open
and open the data file containing the relevant temperature
measurements.
2. In History View, with the graph tab in view, go to
Analysis > MKT
in the main menu. The
MKT dialog is opened.

calculated (in °C), into the MKT dialog.
5. Click
Calculate
. A Pass or Fail indication will be displayed and in the event of a Pass, the
MKT value will also be displayed.
