What is Calibration?
Defining Calibration
Calibration is best defined as the process of testing an instrument using another that is referenced to a known standard or set of parameters. It relates to the accuracy and quality of an instruments ability to give a reading; this reading may be a unit of pressure, temperature, force or similar.
Why is Calibration
of Instruments Important?
Whilst calibration is commonly viewed as an unnecessary cost of business, the reality is that calibration is an essential part of measurement and control. As such, it is vital in ensuring that measurements taken by organisation’s tools and instruments are accurate and that the measuring instrument is working as intended (and within the tolerances stated by the manufacturer).
