What is lab equipment calibration?

In the context of lab research, it typically means adjusting or standardizing your equipment so it can be more precise. This can include marking the graduations on a measuring device, or figuring out how much an instrument deviates from standard and adjusting for that difference.

How often should pressure gauges be calibrated

Calibration is the procedure of comparing a reference with a known error margin against a device (for example a pressure gauge) under test. If the device doesn’t match the reference, then we adjust it to match, or at least come close, the desired measuring accuracy. The reference measurement instrument must be more accurate than the pressure gauge to be calibrated, and it must also be traceable. To calibrate a pressure gauge, we will need to check the values throughout the entire measuring range, zero point, intermediate values, and the full-scale value.

What does calibrating an instrument mean

Calibration is a comparison between a known measurement (the standard) and the measurement using your instrument.

What is the purpose of equipment calibration?

It is important to calibrate equipment to help assure accurate measurements and production of quality products with reduced errors and recalls. It is also important to calibrate equipment to foster innovation and the development of new technologies, as accurate measurements are foundational to both.

How often should you calibrate lab equipment?

Instrument calibration and maintenance are an integral part of any operation in manufacturing/ laboratory. and are vital for data quality assurance. Accurate and reliable monitoring results are crucial for data analysis, particularly when the monitoring results are to be compared with the relevant standards or guidelines for compliance purposes, or for population exposure and health risk assessments. Where such analyses lead to air quality policy formulation and the quality of the original data is especially important. This Procedure outlines the basic requirements for the calibration and maintenance of monitoring instruments based primarily on standard monitoring methods. Monitoring agencies should develop their own detailed calibration and maintenance programs appropriate to their data quality assurance goals.

Calibration is required for maintaining lab equipment accuracy and precision. Utilizing a NIST traceable calibration standard to compare a standard measurement to the measurement taken by your instrument is critical. Some reasons for doing this are safety of lab personnel, maintaining a consistent production level, data integrity, increasing the longevity or your equipment, and having accurate records for any audit.

We at Biotechnical Services, Inc. located in San Diego, CA are an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited and ISO 9001 certified calibration company with more than 31 years of experience. We use comprehensive procedures to specify uncertainty levels for calibration standards, determine pre-calibration steps to ensure proper equipment operation, and define the required calibration points used to verify your instrument’s full range of operation.
