A calibration error in an instrument measuring sewage levels in the Stanley Park shaft of the city’s massive new $232-million Combined Sewage Storage Tunnel led to ...

Calibration always seems to be scheduled at the most critical time in a project. For example, assume that a piece of test equipment is on a six-month calibration cycle. At month five, the design ...

• Force vectors don’t want to remain in line with the object being pushed. • Load-cell specifications usually do not call out accuracy, but rather linearity, repeatability, and hysteresis. • Accuracy ...

CHECKING OUT THOUSANDS of instruments and calibrating them prior to installation in new power plants is largely a manual job. Documentation of instrument calibrations is also usually done manually. In ...

It is a stringent requirement for all quality systems to calibrate the equipment used for measurements. The International Vocabulary of Metrology defines the term calibration as an “operation that, ...

Light scattering methods are often called ‘'absolute’ because the addition of a light scattering detector to an SEC system enables direct molecular weight measurement without creating a calibration ...

Designing and testing communications systems with analog baseband I/Q (BBIQ) circuits can be a challenge for RF engineers. The goal is to make traditional signal-analysis measurements in the spectral ...

Calibration keeps everything aligned. It might seem like a small thing, but it decides if your pressure gauges read correctly or if your torque wrench tightens just right. That level of accuracy does ...
