CALIBRATION – KEY WORD IS COMPARISON



Definitions

  • Basic: The comparison of a measurement or source of unverified certainty with a measurement of known uncertainty.
  • Detailed: Calibration is a set of operations that establish, under specified conditions, the relationship between values of quantities indicated by a measuring instrument or measuring system, or values represented by a material measure or a reference material, and the corresponding values realized by standards.

Why Calibration is Needed:

 

  • All products are given a specification by their manufacturer. This indicates the performance a product should operate to and maintain over a set period of time.
  •  
  • As components age and the product undergoes changes in temperature or humidity or sustains mechanical stress, performance of the product gradually degrades.
  •  
  • This is called drift. When this happens your test results become unreliable and any process that the product is a part of has lost it’s integrity and validity.
  •  
  • While drift cannot be eliminated, it can be detected through the process of calibration.
