•White Paper: Automated Calibration Planning Lowers Costs
Calibration is an essential element of any instrumentation maintenance program. However, sometimes calibration operations can be long and time-consuming. By planning the process and adding the right tools, efficiency can be improved and costs lowered substantially.
Calibration is an essential element of any instrumentation maintenance program. Accumulated wear and random variations in a sensor's environment will inevitably reduce its accuracy over time, so periodic testing is required to guarantee that the measurements being reported actually match the conditions being monitored. Otherwise, any computerized monitoring or control systems, to which the sensor is interfaced, will be unable to detect off-spec conditions and the quality of the product being manufactured will suffer.
Unfortunately, calibration operations can be long and tedious, even with the aid of an electronic calibrator that automates the tests. The sheer volume of data that must be collected and analyzed can be overwhelming when there are hundreds of sensors to be checked and multiple data points to be recorded for each.
