Different Types of Calibration You Need to Know

 

There are quite a lot of different types of calibration that you come across today. However, there are at least six types of calibration that are popular in the community. Check out the following explanation.

  1. Flow Calibration

Equipment that measures flow rates will require this type of calibration. The speed of flow is certainly highly dependent on the specific fluid moving through a hole, vessel, or pipe at any given time.

This flow calibration is quite common for turbine measuring equipment, rotameters, laminar flow meters, and so on.

 

  1. Pressure Calibration

This type is often used in various industries to measure hydraulic and gas pressure. This is important for factories and other industries because it is to monitor safety and work productivity.

Barometers and transducers are just a few examples of tools that can use pressure calibration to ensure the capability and accuracy of the tool.

 

  1. Electrical Calibration

As the name implies, this type is useful for calibrating measuring instruments with electrical parameters – including resistance, current, voltage, frequency, and so on.

To carry out this evaluation, calibration must involve a precision calibrator called UUT. Some electrical tools that require calibration include electricity meters, electricity recorders, frequency counters, and so on.

 

  1. Temperature Calibration

Some industries rely heavily on temperature reading processes. Therefore, some of these industries require temperature calibration – which must condition the environment in such a way.

Thermal cameras, infrared meters, and call thermometers are some of the tools that require temperature calibration. Calibration can only be done by comparing the standard temperature in the artificial environment with  the probe being tested.

 

  1. Mechanical Calibration

Calibration is also necessary and crucial for measuring equipment that uses conventional methods. The goal is the same, which is to maintain the performance of the tool in optimal condition. The calibration method is also relatively simpler than other types.

Some of the instruments that usually utilize this method are scales, micrometers, torque wrenches and screwdrivers, height gauges, and so on.

 

  1. Pipette Calibration

You may often encounter pipers in the laboratory. Well, this type of calibration is indeed special for pipettes and other tools in the laboratory.

From manual to electronic pipettes, everything must be calibrated regularly – and according to procedure. It is important to ensure that the pipette has a level of accuracy that matches the initial specifications.
