    FUNDAMENTALS OF
    CALIBRATION
    01
    CONCEPT OF CALIBRATION

    4
    CALIBRATION

    Generally, Calibration is a comparison between


    a known measurement (the standard) and the
    measurement using your instrument.

    ➢ Typically, the accuracy of the standard


    should be ten times the accuracy of the
    measuring device being tested.
    However, accuracy ratio of 3:1 is
    acceptable by most standards
    organizations.

    5
    MISCONCEPTION

    Common Misconception about calibration

    A common misconception is that calibration


    means adjusting the output of a device to
    bring its performance “within limits.”

    Any adjustment made to the output of the


    device is separate from the calibration and
    verification process, and must be followed
    by a further calibration and verification to
    prove the adjustment/maintainance was
    successful.

    DEFINITION OF CALIBRATION

    Old Definition Joint Committee for Guides in


    Metrology
    Calibration is the comparing of an unknown
    measurement device against equal or better known Operation that, under specified conditions, in a first
    standard under specified conditions. step, establishes a relation between the quantity
    values with measurement uncertainties provided
    by measurement standards and corresponding
    indications with associated measurement
    uncertainties, and in a second step, uses this
    information to establish a relation for obtaining a
    measurement result from an indication.

    CLEANING BEFORE CALIBRATION

    • To ensure the safety of operators


    • Avoiding cross contamination (which can lead to
    incorrect results and errors)
    • To maintain the regulatory compliance - according to
    cleaning protocols (SOP’s)
    • To extending instrument using lifetime

    Cleaning could be done through using suitable brush,


    Dry clean cloth & chemical i.e. cleaning agents such as
    70% ethanol or isopropanol, or mild detergents.

    N.B: Acetone should not be used, even for highly sticky


    substances, as it is not compatible with plastic handles,
    glued parts and the terminal screen.

    should be used to lift and place weights.
    • Make sure with the soft placement of weights on the balance pan as
    level best of possible.
    • Readings should be taken after the balance is stabilized well.
    • The place should be free from vibration.
