kalibreerd

Kalibreerd is a Dutch word that translates to "calibrated" in English. It refers to the process of adjusting or setting a measuring instrument to a standard or known value. This ensures accuracy and reliability in measurements. Calibration is a crucial step in many scientific, industrial, and commercial applications to guarantee that devices perform as expected and provide consistent results. The term is often used in contexts where precision is important, such as in laboratories, manufacturing facilities, and medical settings. For example, a thermometer might need to be kalibreerd to ensure it accurately measures temperature, or a scale might need to be kalibreerd before weighing sensitive materials. The process typically involves comparing the readings of the instrument to a reference standard that is known to be accurate. Adjustments are then made to the instrument until its readings match the standard within acceptable tolerances. Regular calibration is essential to maintain the accuracy of measuring devices over time, as they can drift or become less precise due to wear, environmental factors, or damage.
