ACTION CALIBRATION SERVICES INC.
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.
