How to identify and manage your calibration requirements - four options and instructions

Continuous attention to long-term measurement accuracy (especially in the field of life sciences, manufacturing and process industries) usually can help you to reduce energy consumption, improve the decision-making and improve the quality of the final product.Your application is more important, the more should be regular calibration and adjustment.In many cases, local laws, regulations or the internal quality management system will require you to make regular calibration, your customers are likely to want you to do so.

Measurement technology and the measured parameters are important considerations.Normally, instrument manufacturers to give general advice, recommend appropriate calibration and maintenance interval.You can also choose to make their own spot checking or field calibration.In any case, in the long run, choosing a reliable measuring instrument provider is smart, because they committed to investment in the development of stable measurement technology, and can be in the entire product life cycle to provide you with different types of calibration solution.
Let us know several calibration options.

1.The calibrationIs able to guarantee the accuracy of the measurement equipment calibration calibration method, because it can reduce the influence of environmental factors on the calibration process.Using visa calibration laboratory calibration equipment, you can choose to ISO/IEC 17025 (CNAL - CL01) approved factory ISO 9001 standard calibration or calibration;In both cases, you can get traceable calibration certificate, and the accuracy of proven equipment and/or adjusted before the adjustment of the calibration results.Equipment for maintenance, in most cases can be completed in a return visa during calibration.

2.Using handheld devices for field calibrationCan be relatively quick and easy to check the measurement equipment, without from the process or process area to be removed.Field calibration work need to use a standard as a reference, you can choose to use a handheld instrument as a standard table, for installation in the process of the other instrument calibration.Many visa to pull customers regularly to their handheld instrument is returned to us, in a quick for laboratory calibration, and then the calibration on the process of the other instruments.

3.On-site calibration instrument based on salt solution featuresCan be in non-critical applications for multi-point calibration instrument.Saturated salt solution is applied in relative humidity calibration for a long time, they can more easily create a fixed set of relative humidity calibration point.

4.Spot checkingAlso use a handheld instrument for quick and easy to determine whether the equipment normal operation.Spot checking不应与现场校准相混淆：在现场抽查中，对稳定时间的要求不像对现场校准那样严格，因此它是一个更快的过程。现场抽查应视作是对测量设备常规校准维护的有益补充，尤其是在关键应用中。

Visa attaches great importance to measurement accuracy.ourmeasurementtechnology具有长期稳定性 ，我们致力于帮助客户保持设备长期稳定。通过适当的校准和维护，即使在严苛的测量条件下也可实现这一目标。
Visa, in addition to providing comprehensive service center and field calibration services, also provides a variety of can be used for spot checking and calibration of handheld measuring instrument, support customer on-site maintenance.Customers can also take part in our long-term Calibration plan (Calibration Care protocol), ensure the handheld instruments or other instrument accuracy and compliance for a long time.
