Why Calibration? In industrial process conditions, there are various reason for calibration. Examples of the most common reasons are; Accuracy of all measurements deteriorates over time. Regulatory compliance stipulates regular calibration. Quality System requires calibration. Quality of the products produced. Safety – of customers and employees. Environmental reasons. Various other reasons. Metrological Traceability The reference standard that is used in calibration must also be calibrated maintaining metrologically traceability. This traceability means that the reference standard must have also been calibrated using a standard having much smaller measurement uncertainty. This calibration is normally performed by the National Metrology Institute (NMI). The traceability must ensure an unbroken chain of calibrations to national or international standard. If the traceability chain is broken at any point, any measurement below that cannot be considered reliable. Metrological traceability means traceability to SI units through an unbroken chain of comparisons and continuous uncertainty additions at all levels…
