Kalibreringssteg refers to the individual actions or procedures performed during the process of calibration. Calibration is essential for ensuring that measurement instruments provide accurate and reliable readings. Each step in a calibration procedure is designed to verify or adjust the instrument's output against a known standard.

The specific steps involved in a calibration will vary greatly depending on the type of instrument and its intended use. For a simple thermometer, a calibration might involve submerging it in an ice bath of known temperature (0 degrees Celsius) and comparing the reading to this standard, then adjusting if necessary. For more complex scientific equipment, such as a spectrophotometer, calibration might involve using certified reference materials with known optical properties to adjust the instrument's response across a range of wavelengths.

Common elements in many calibration steps include performing a "zero" adjustment, where the instrument is set to read zero under a condition where zero is expected. Another common step is verifying the instrument's response at one or more known points within its measurement range, often referred to as "span" or "gain" adjustments. These adjustments ensure that the instrument's scale is accurate. Following a calibration, a certificate is typically issued, documenting the results of each calibration step, the standards used, and the date of calibration. This documentation is crucial for traceability and quality assurance.
