What is calibration?

Home » FAQ » What is calibration?

Calibration is the process of comparing the measurement accuracy of an instrument against a known reference standard to determine whether the instrument is performing within acceptable limits. The goal of calibration is to ensure reliable, accurate, and traceable measurement results.

During calibration, the instrument under test is compared with a higher-accuracy reference, and the results are documented in a calibration certificate. If deviations are found, the instrument may be adjusted to restore its accuracy.

Calibration is essential in industries where measurement accuracy, quality, safety, and compliance are critical. A well-managed calibration process helps organizations maintain reliable instruments and make decisions based on accurate measurement data.
