kalibreeritus
Kalibreeritus is a term used in metrology to denote the state of a measurement instrument, system, or dataset after calibration against a defined reference standard. In this sense, kalibreeritus describes both the act of calibration and the resulting condition in which measurements are aligned with traceable standards, with an associated uncertainty bound. The term implies that the instrument's readings are corrected for systematic bias and that ongoing traceability to higher-level references is maintained.
Etymology: kalibreeritus is formed from kalibreerima (to calibrate) and the nominal suffix -itus, indicating a state
Scope and usage: Kalibreeritus applies to diverse devices, including mechanical gauges, electronic sensors, analytical instruments, and
Process: Achieving kalibreeritus typically involves selecting appropriate reference standards, performing comparative measurements, computing correction factors or
Maintenance and limitations: Kalibreeritus can degrade over time due to wear, drift, temperature changes, and environmental
