Kalibruar

Kalibruar is the Albanian verb meaning to calibrate. In technical and scientific contexts, it refers to the process of adjusting an instrument or system so that its measurements correspond to a reference standard of known accuracy. Calibration helps ensure that results are reliable and comparable across devices and over time.

Calibration involves comparing the instrument’s outputs with values from a reference, determining any deviation such as bias or drift, and applying adjustments or corrections to minimize error. The result is often a calibration record or certificate, which may establish traceability to national or international standards. Calibrations can be performed in a laboratory or on site (in-situ) and may be periodic, related to maintenance, or required by regulatory regimes. Standards and best practices in calibration are commonly aligned with metrology guidelines and, in many industries, with ISO/IEC 17025 or similar frameworks.

Common domains for kalibruar include laboratory equipment, manufacturing sensors, medical devices, timekeeping, thermometry, weighing scales, and consumer electronics. The noun form kalibrim refers to the process or its result, while the adjective form kalibruar describes something that has been calibrated. Practical use examples include statements such as “The instrument has been kalibruar” or “We performed kalibrim to ensure accuracy.”

Etymology-wise, kalibruar is a borrowed Albanian term derived from Romance language roots, typically via Italian calibrare or related forms, itself tracing back to Latin calibrāre. The term has become standard in Albanian technical language to denote calibration across diverse fields.
