What is Calibration?
The primary significance of calibration is that it maintains
accuracy, standardization and repeatability in measurements, assuring
reliable benchmarks and results. Without regular calibration, equipment
can fall out of spec, provide inaccurate measurements and threaten quality
and equipment longevity
Why is Calibration important?
Calibration is important because it helps ensure accurate measurements,
and accurate measurements are foundational to the quality, safety and
innovation of most products and services we use and rely on every day.
Calibration improves assurance of precise measurements required in research,
development, and innovation, as well as the production of millions of products
and services worldwide. Pause and look around your room right now; most of
what you see was produced within tight measurement specifications assured by
calibration.
A shortlist of examples where calibration is quietly behind the scenes assuring precise
measurements critical to be comfort, quality and safety of products and innovation we
enjoy and rely on daily include:
- All transportation & related systems including cars,
trains, planes and gasoline pumps
- All electronic appliances
- All pharmaceutical products and medication
- All medical devices like pacemakers and processes like sterilization
- All aerospace and related systems including rockets,
satellites and the International space station
- Food production, shipping, storage
- Trade of things like oil, grains and gold
- Scientific research, development and innovation
