The calibration process involves comparing an instrument’s measurement results against a known reference standard with higher accuracy. The difference between the instrument under test and the reference standard is recorded as calibration data. A typical calibration process includes preparing the instrument, performing measurements at defined calibration points, analyzing deviations, documenting results, and making adjustments if required. Modern calibration processes can be enhanced with documenting calibrators and calibration software, which reduce manual work, improve data integrity, and simplify calibration record management.
