Why Calibrate ?
Our Mission
The ability of a measurement device to accurately measure a physical quantity changes
with a number of factors. Time in service, temperature, humidity, environmental
exposure, and abuse can all affect your measurement accuracy. Calibration quantifies
this change in measurement accuracy and, when required, adjusts the device's
measurement capability to decrease error.
Whether your calibration needs are driven by ISO-9000 requirements or by company
mandates, Action Calibration Services Inc. offers the support you need to comply.
Understanding Calibration
Calibration
The accuracy of the electronic components used in all instruments drifts over time. The
effects of time in service as well as environmental conditions add to this drift. As time
progresses changes in component values cause greater uncertainty in your
measurements. At some point in time, the drift causes the instrument's uncertainty to
become undefined, meaning the manufacturer can no longer predict the uncertainty and
guarantee measurement results. To resolve this issue instruments must be calibrated at
regular intervals as defined by the manufacturer.
Calibration is the comparison of an instrument's performance to a standard of known
accuracy. The result of a calibration may be documentation showing the deviation of a
measurement from the known standard or it may also include adjusting the instrument's
measurement capability to improve measurement accuracy.

The goal of calibration is to quantify and
improve the measurement accuracy of
your instrument. The benefits of
maintaining properly calibrated
equipment include:
Reduced measurement errors
Consistency between Measurements
Increases in production yields
Assurance you are making accurate
measurements.
ACS recommends that you periodically
calibrate your hardware to ensure
measurement accuracy and to keep
your devices operating in peak precision.
