The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies provides accredited calibration services that help businesses verify the accuracy of their measuring equipment.
What is Calibration, and Why is It Important in Industrial Applications?
During calibration, a professional compares a device under test (DUT) of an unknown value with a reference standard of a known value. While many may assume measuring equipment is inherently accurate, factors such as age, damage, and environmental conditions can compromise the accuracy of equipment.
Businesses are incentivized to regularly calibrate their equipment because a failure to do so could have an immense impact on their operations. For example, a pharmaceutical manufacturer could put its customers at risk if the scales used to measure the ingredients of a capsule were inaccurate. This mistake would lead to financial losses, a decrease in consumer satisfaction, and a failure to comply with industry regulations.

How Often Should You Calibrate Measuring Equipment?
The frequency at which an instrument requires recalibration can depend on a multitude of factors, but all equipment will require recalibration eventually. Fortunately, we offer in-lab and on-site calibrations that help our clients maintain accurate equipment without enduring unnecessary downtime. We recommend that our clients schedule calibrations based on the following factors:
- The manufacturer’s recommendations for calibration intervals
- The importance of the instrument’s role in a particular project or application
- The equipment’s exposure to mechanical stresses and harsh conditions
- The device’s age and general condition
