What is Calibration and Why It is Important?

Calibration is within the field of Metrology, the study of measurements. Businesses of all types, including healthcare, manufacturing, and restaurants require calibration to ensure their equipment is providing accurate readings and data. Incorrect data could cause costly mistakes for a business.

What exactly is Calibration?

Calibration is the process of comparing testing equipment against a set of standards to ensure accurate readings and data.

Healthcare Calibration

It’s very important for medical equipment to be calibrated correctly since the health and safety of patients are at risk. A few medical devices that require calibration are scales, microscopes, pressure gauges, patient lift scales, and blood pressure monitors. We can calibrate your biomedical equipment.

Commercial Kitchen Equipment Calibration

Within the restaurant and food manufacturing industry, it is important to ensure food is made properly to ensure all safety protocols are met. For example, food needs to be made to a specific temperature for safety, or color for product consistency.

Temperature is important for dairy products along with products being cooked. If dairy products are stored at temperatures that are either too low or high, it can go bad. Temperature accuracy is important to ensure foods stay safe.

The food industry also uses pressure devices, flow systems and weighing equipment. These are all important and required to provide accurate readings.

Manufacturing Calibration

In the manufacturing industry, products are required to be made with specific functions and specifications. If machinery isn’t calibrated properly, this could result in problems with the manufactured products.

Optical Equipment Calibration

Optical equipment is used to process light waves to enhance an image. A few examples of optical equipment include telescopes, cameras, microscopes. These are all important and required to provide accurate analysis.
