Calibration

An Instrument manufacture recommendations include periodic calibration requirements that may included a nationally recognized standard like NIST. Electronic sensors and circuits need verification to be within manufacture specifications.

Although calibration certification intervals vary, the purpose is to have an accurate instrument and measurement procedure. Sensors life expectancy should also be evaluated along with the calibration record and procedure, Performance may out last the life expectancy. Calibration intervals depend on use, with some instruments needed more frequent verification than others.
