Problem:Calibration uncertainty refers to the potential errors in measurements caused by limitations in the calibration equipment, environmental factors, or inaccuracies in the reference standard.
Solution:
Know Your Calibration Uncertainty: Always check the uncertainty of the calibration equipment you are using. For highly accurate applications, it is crucial to select calibration tools with minimal uncertainty and clearly document these uncertainties in calibration reports.
Use Certified Calibration Equipment: Use reference instruments that are traceable to national or international standards (e.g., NIST). This helps reduce uncertainty and ensures your calibration results are accurate and reliable.
Minimize External Interference: During the calibration process, ensure that environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity) are stable, and the calibration area is free from vibrations or electrical interference, which could affect the measurements.
