Kaliblierverfahrens

Kalibrierverfahren refers to the systematic process of establishing the relationship between the indications of a measuring instrument and the corresponding values of a measured quantity. This procedure is essential for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of measurements. The core principle involves comparing the readings of an instrument with known, traceable standards. These standards are typically established by national metrology institutes or accredited calibration laboratories. During calibration, the instrument is subjected to a series of measurements at various points within its operational range. The deviations between the instrument's readings and the true values provided by the standards are then documented.

Based on these deviations, a calibration certificate is issued. This certificate typically details the instrument's identification, the calibration date, the standards used, the environmental conditions during calibration, the measured deviations, and any adjustments made. If the deviations fall within acceptable tolerances, the instrument is deemed to be within its specified accuracy. If the deviations exceed these tolerances, the instrument may need to be adjusted or repaired. Regular calibration is crucial for maintaining measurement traceability and ensuring that results from different instruments or laboratories are comparable and scientifically valid. This process is fundamental across many scientific, industrial, and commercial applications where precise measurements are critical.
