What if calibration fails?
If a calibration failure occurs, it’s important to consider several factors that might be contributing to the issue. Revisiting aspects like coverage size, the RF environment, and calibration methods can help you identify and resolve roadblocks causing the calibration failure. A calibration process starts with the basic step of comparing a known with an unknown to determine the error or value of the unknown quantity. However, in practice, a calibration process may consist of as found verification, adjustment, and as left verification.Calibration schedules refer to the defined time points or intervals at which measuring devices, testing equipment, or other instruments need to undergo calibration to ensure their accuracy and reliability.Calibration error refers to the variation observed between the recorded output of a properly calibrated instrument and the factual measurement of the target quantity.Many calibration errors are caused by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and vibration. Overlooking these variables can lead to inaccurate calibration results, especially for highly sensitive instruments.
How long does a calibration last?
Seen from a general scientific standpoint, calibration equipment generally requires re-certification on an annual basis to be considered accurate. Calibration Is A Check, Not A Fix If it’s great, you’ll receive a certificate confirming it’s good to go. No tweaks. No adjustments.
