kalibroitava

Kalibroitava is a Finnish adjective used to describe tools, devices, software, or procedures that are capable of being calibrated or that require calibration. The term is formed from the verb kalibroida (to calibrate) and the suffix -ttava, which creates a present passive participle meaning “to be calibrated” or “to require calibration.” In practice, kalibroitava characterizes elements whose measurement accuracy depends on a calibration process.

Usage and nuance

In metrology, quality control, and technical documentation, kalibroitava appears to mark equipment or methods that must undergo calibration to meet specified tolerances. It can refer to a state that needs calibration (kalibroitava laite) or, in some contexts, to something that is designed to be calibrated (kalibroitava komponentti). When calibration has already been performed and the item is verified, the more common expression is kalibroitu.
