Test instruments such as oscilloscopes and DMMs (digital multimeters) often let you get the measurement results you need with just the press of a button. But the number on a meter's display or the ...

Metrology is the science of precise measurement. It ensures accuracy and consistency across scientific, industrial, and engineering fields. Calibration is the process of aligning measurement ...

Calibration determines the accuracy of measuring instruments by comparing its value to a higher-level measurement standard, usually a working standard gage block. Measurement standards follow a ...

Calibration and Documentation details the calibration of measuring instruments and its necessary documentation. Calibration should occur at regular intervals. Companies should have a written document ...

The procedure for calibration of measuring instruments is the tenth, final document for carrying out metrological work, the development of which is provided for by the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic ...

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 ...

The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has completed significant upgrades to two key instruments serving what the agency calls “critical national needs”. The devices measure ...

The importance of calibration for all electronic test equipment. The main reason why such equipment must be regularly calibrated. The pros and cons of self-calibration or using outside services. It’s ...

As commercial, military/aerospace, and other communications designs extend into the millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum, engineers must adapt their testing procedures and require more from instruments ...
