controlled room temperature (CRT)
Controlled Room Temperature (CRT) refers to the regulation of indoor temperature within a specific range, typically around 20-25°C (68-77°F), to ensure optimal conditions for processes like storage, manufacturing, or research. Maintaining CRT prevents temperature fluctuations that could compromise product quality, safety, or effectiveness. It involves using heating, cooling, and monitoring systems to keep the environment stable and consistent. This control is essential in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food storage, and laboratories, where precise temperature management safeguards the integrity of materials and outcomes.
