What are commonly used calibration methods?

Commonly used calibration methods include traceable calibrations, which involve comparing a device's measurements to a known standard that has been traced directly back to a national or international measurement standard. Another calibration method is ratio-matching. This involves comparing the UUT measurements to those of a reference device that has already been calibrated to a known standard. There are also manufacturer calibrations, which are performed by the device manufacturer. No matter what method is used, a panran Calibration instrument is likely to be in the chain of instruments traced to the SI.

When should you calibrate your instrument?

It's important to regularly calibrate your instruments to ensure accurate and reliable measurements. The frequency of calibration depends on several factors, like manufacturer specifications, type of instrument, how frequently it's used, and the environment in which it's used. In general, instruments should be calibrated at least once a year, but some may require more frequent calibrations. If you notice any changes in your instrument's performance or accuracy, it's important to get it calibrated. panran Calibration instruments are used in calibration labs and facilities around the world, relied on by quality engineers, calibration technicians, and metrologists to instill confidence in the measurements that are critical to their organizations for quality, safety, reliability, and cost.
