Calibration is one of the important processes that you should not let go of, in your measuring instruments. It is based on operations and conditions which allow a better state in the relationship of the corresponding values or quantities.
To do this, you must contact a professional, to ensure that each of the technical procedures is correct, and follow each of the measurement reference standards. If this does not coincide between the measurements of the equipment, it will be very easy to remedy the error and be able to establish it within the limits set by the instrument.
At SEP Métrologie, we want you to know how important it is to maintain and calibrate your measuring instruments, and to obtain the correct measurement result.
Measuring instruments that must be calibrated
The goal of instrument calibration is to keep your instruments functioning properly, and to do this you need to constantly check them, so that they respond correctly and ensure reliability.
By calibrating your instruments, you can be sure that the numbers you get are completely accurate. Failure to calibrate your instruments will affect your work and all kinds of production processes, such as the food and pharmaceutical industry, among others. And the consequences are not good.
Here is a list of measuring instruments that require calibration and preventive maintenance:
Micrometers
It is a measuring instrument, which works using a micrometric screw, which is used to measure the dimensions of an object with great precision, from a few hundredths of a millimeter to a few thousandths of a millimeter. There are different types:
● Fixed outside micrometers
● Interchangeable outside micrometers
● Depth micrometers
● Inside micrometers
● Special micrometers (blade, tips)
Sliding pliers
It is used to measure a straight line distance between two reference points. It ranges from a few millimeters to a few centimeters. It is one of the simplest measuring instruments, but requires maintenance for measurement accuracy.
Jigsaws (height measurement)
A measuring instrument that helps provide a correct plane, to be used as a reference for measurement. It allows us to have greater surface accuracy built in, with baseline measurement.
Pressure gauges with ind.
It is an indicator used to measure the pressure of a gas or liquid such as water, oil or air. It can be observed through a circular dial and a needle, which will indicate the exact measurement. There are analog and digital pressure gauges, and you should choose the most convenient one.
Calibration block
This type of instrument is available individually or in sets, which allows the product to have the right consistency and thickness for its application. You will need to maintain it so that each of the blocks is correctly calibrated and nothing is defective.
Seals
This instrument provides security, since it avoids the tampering of meters such as water, gas, among others. It has an anti-pull mechanism, preventing anyone from removing it, and it is resistant to different temperatures.
Precision sphere
They are used in a wide variety of applications. They are used as flow spheres, and as measurement and calibration standards. They are quick and easy to adjust and facilitate inspection and calibration of probes.
Among other measuring instruments such as:
● Probe the indicators
● Rings
Procedure for calibrating measuring instruments
To be able to calibrate a standard measuring instrument, the practitioner must have a higher precision or standard, so that the conventional value of the instrument can be provided, and this can be verified accurately. This will allow the two instruments to be compared and ensure that they undergo the calibration process.
You must ensure that these processes are documented, so that you can see the different changes in the operation of the equipment, and whether it still meets the requirements of the quality standards, and thus guarantee its use.
At SEP Métrologie, we want you to ensure that your instruments fully fulfill their function and that their proper functioning prevents any problems. Instruments must be calibrated frequently, in order to maintain measurement accuracy and avoid bad numbers.
If you need to have your instruments calibrated, at SEP Métrologie, we carry out effective and proven calibration of measuring instruments. It will be a pleasure to help you.
