  1. Why Calibration of Your Measuring Instruments is Important

  2. What is calibration? Calibration is the process of comparing a known measurement (the standard) to the measurement made with your instrument. Typically, the standard's accuracy should be ten times that of the measuring device being tested. Most standards organizations, however, consider a 3:1 accuracy ratio to be acceptable. Sure Controls offers preventative field service to help you ensure the accuracy of your instruments and controls.

  3. Calibration of your measuring instruments serves two purposes: it determines the accuracy of the instrument and the traceability of the measurement. Calibration in practice also includes repairing the device if it is out of calibration. The calibration expert provides a report that shows the error in measurements with the measuring device before and after calibration. We can use an external micrometer as an example to demonstrate how calibration & measurementis done. The accuracy of the scale is the primary parameter for calibration in this case. Furthermore, these instruments are calibrated for zero error in the fully closed position, as well as for the flatness and parallelism of the measuring surfaces. A calibrated slip gauge is used to calibrate the scale. The flatness and parallelism are checked using a calibrated optical flat.

  4. Why calibration is important? All measuring devices lose accuracy over time. This is usually due to normal wear and tear. Changes in accuracy can, however, be caused by electric or mechanical shock, as well as a hazardous manufacturing environment (e.x., oils, metal chips etc.). Depending on the type of instrument and the environment in which it is used, it may degrade quickly or gradually. The bottom line is that calibration improves measuring device accuracy. Product quality is improved by using accurate measuring devices.

  5. When should you calibrate your measuring device? • A measuring device should be calibrated: • According to the recommendation of the manufacturer. • After any mechanical or electrical shock. • Periodically (annually, quarterly, monthly) • The hidden costs and risks of using an uncalibrated measuring device could be far greater than the cost of calibration. As a result, it is recommended that measuring instruments be calibrated on a regular basis by a reputable company to ensure that measurement errors are within acceptable limits.
