The calibration process
The instrument calibration process verifies the correspondence of a device’s graduated scale with the quantities to be measured, within certified standards.
Calibration is essential to improve accuracy and minimize measurement errors. This process takes place in multiple stages, from the initial inspection to adjustment, and finally to certification, ensuring reliable measurements that comply with regulations.
1. Initial Inspection
The instrument is checked to verify its physical condition and proper functioning, identifying any anomalies or signs of wear.
2. Comparison with Standards
The instrument’s measurements are compared with certified reference values to assess any deviations.
3. Adjustment and Testing
If necessary, the instrument is adjusted to meet the required accuracy limits and subsequently subjected to further testing.
4. Certificate Issuance
At the end of the process, a calibration certificate is issued documenting the results and ensuring compliance with standards.
5. Identification Label
At the end of the process, an identification label is applied showing the calibration report number, instrument serial number, and the calibration expiry date.
6. Digital Identification Label
Upon request, a QR Code label can be applied to the instrument, linking to the digital version of the calibration report.
All Frequently Asked Questions about the Instrument Calibration Service
Discover everything you need to know about the instrument calibration procedure: from its purpose to how it is performed, and the benefits for your company.
What is instrument calibration?
Measurement instrument calibration is a fundamental operation in which the correspondence between the graduated scale of a measuring instrument and the physical quantity it must measure is checked and, if necessary, corrected. During calibration, the instrument’s readings are compared with a certified standard, ensuring precision and reliability in measurements.
How is instrument calibration carried out?
Calibration of measuring instruments is performed by comparing the readings of the device under test with those of a certified reference instrument, ensuring maximum accuracy. During the process, various values of the quantity to be measured are applied, verifying the accuracy of the instrument being tested. This comparison allows any discrepancies to be identified and, if necessary, the device adjusted to align with the required standards. Our calibration laboratory has approximately 35 reference standards and nearly 100 working standards.
What is the purpose of instrument calibration?
The instrument calibration procedure guarantees accurate and consistent measurement over time. This process, essential for many industrial sectors, enables precise measurements in compliance with regulations, minimizing errors and optimizing company and production processes.
What is the difference between calibration and adjustment of instruments?
Calibration checks and adjusts an instrument’s accuracy by comparing it with certified standards, while technical calibration records any errors without necessarily correcting them. Both calibration and adjustment operations are essential to ensure reliability in measurement activities.
