kalibrált

Kalibrált is an adjective used to describe a device, instrument, or measurement result that has undergone calibration against recognized reference standards to ensure accuracy. In metrology, calibration is the process of comparing a instrument’s readings with a reference standard of higher accuracy and, if needed, adjusting the instrument so its measurements lie within stated uncertainties.

A calibrated instrument is typically accompanied by a calibration certificate. The certificate documents the procedures performed, the standards used, the measurement results, the stated uncertainty, the range of applicability, and the date of calibration. The process ensures traceability, meaning the measurements can be linked to national or international standards, often using calibrated artifacts or master instruments.

Kalibrálást használják in various fields, including manufacturing, healthcare, laboratories, and environmental monitoring. Common examples are thermometers, pressure gauges, balances, multimeters, and gas detectors. Regular calibration helps maintain measurement reliability, quality control, and compliance with quality management systems and regulatory requirements. Calibration intervals are usually determined by usage, required accuracy, and risk assessment.

Differences to note: calibration is the overall procedure of determining and correcting accuracy; verification is a check that the instrument remains within tolerance without adjustment; adjustment is the action taken to bring readings back into specification. A device labeled kalibrált carries documented evidence that its measurements are aligned with a traceable standard at the time of calibration.
