Understanding Calibration

What is Calibration?

Calibration is the comparison of an instrument against a known standard. It involves comparing the measurements of two instruments: standards (with a known magnitude of correctness) and a test instrument (one that you would like to ascertain).

Comparing to a Known Standard

You can compare the process of calibration with setting the time on a clock. When your time has gone out (due to the passing of time or a power failure), you check it against a known standard, such as phoning the time standard or another known accurate timepiece. Then, you compare it with the time displayed and adjust it if necessary.

Field Checks and Calibration Standards

A field check is a simple comparison between two meters. Although it can sometimes point out a problem, it is not an accurate calibration. For calibration to be effective, the calibration standard must be more accurate than the instrument being tested. Calibration typically involves a standard of at least 10 times the accuracy of the test instrument.

NIST-Traceable Standards

An NIST-traceable standard is one that has paperwork showing it compares correctly to a chain of standards going back to a master standard maintained by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. If a test instrument does not conform to the standard, then correction and repairs will need to be performed to bring the instrument back into calibration. If the report shows significant calibration errors, the user may need to go back and redo the measurements taken since the previous calibration.

Importance of Calibrating Your Testing Instruments

Regular calibration ensures that your testing instruments maintain accurate and reliable measurements over time. As components within instruments may shift or degrade, calibration corrects any deviations, ensuring consistent and trustworthy results.
