Kalibrierkennwerte

Kalibrierkennwerte are specific values obtained during the calibration of measuring instruments. These values are crucial for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the instrument's measurements over its intended operating range. They represent the relationship between the measured value and the true value of the quantity being measured, as determined by comparison with a traceable standard.

Common Kalibrierkennwerte include parameters like linearity, hysteresis, repeatability, and resolution. Linearity describes how closely the instrument's output follows a straight line across its measurement range. Hysteresis quantifies the difference in readings when the same value is approached from increasing and decreasing directions. Repeatability refers to the consistency of measurements when the same quantity is measured multiple times under identical conditions. Resolution indicates the smallest change in the measured quantity that the instrument can detect.

These characteristic values are documented in a calibration certificate. They are used to assess the instrument's performance and to define its uncertainty of measurement. Understanding and applying these Kalibrierkennwerte is essential for quality control, regulatory compliance, and making informed decisions based on measurement data. Regular recalibration and re-evaluation of these parameters are necessary to maintain the instrument's suitability for its intended use.
