Kalibreringsriggar

Kalibreringsriggar, often referred to as calibration rigs or calibration stands, are specialized equipment used to calibrate and verify the accuracy of measuring instruments. These rigs provide a controlled environment and a set of known reference standards against which a device under test can be compared. The primary purpose is to ensure that an instrument is providing readings that are within acceptable tolerances and are traceable to national or international standards.

The design of a calibration rig varies significantly depending on the type of instrument it is intended for. For example, a rig for calibrating pressure gauges might incorporate highly accurate pressure sources and digital readouts, while a rig for calibrating torque wrenches would feature precision torque application mechanisms and measurement systems. Similarly, electrical calibration rigs might use precision voltage and current sources.

These rigs are essential in various industries, including manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and scientific research, where precise measurements are critical for product quality, safety, and regulatory compliance. Regular calibration using these rigs helps to identify instrument drift, wear, or damage, preventing potentially costly errors or failures. The calibration process itself typically involves exposing the instrument to a series of known inputs and recording its output. Any deviations from the expected values are then adjusted or documented, and a calibration certificate is issued.
