Do you have any questions on calibration services? Answers can be found in our FAQ. Calibration is to identify the accelerometer’s frequency response. Overtime the sensitivity of the sensor may drift, resulting a change in response of the sensor, in turn affecting the test accuracy. From the calibration, the data provided in the certificate can be used to calculate the overall test uncertainty.

Measurement equipment calibration can be carried out on different types of instruments across different sectors. Electrical calibration refers to the process of verifying the performance of any instrument that measures or tests electrical parameters such as: voltage, current, resistance, inductance, capacitance, time and frequency. Mechanical instruments are subject to drift due to regular usage, mechanical shock and exposure to varying atmospheric conditions, as such mechanical calibration is needed.
The benefits of calibration include improving safety as well as saving money and increasing profitability by avoiding the costs of false acceptance and rejection of products, increasing production efficiency, and extending the life of the equipment. Since the standards of accredited calibration labs are set really high, you can be confident of the accuracy levels of the calibrations.
Instrument calibration ensures that the instruments perform with high accuracy without compromising the final quality of the product. They perform best when they are calibrated following the manufacturers’ recommendations. Several factors may affect calibration, which will further affect the end quality, rendering the objective of calibration useless. Three of these factors are discussed in this article.
To run a vibration testing, we need to set our test specification at the vibration control software and let the vibration controller to control the rest. A feedback sensor will send feedback signal. And based on this feedback signal, vibration controller will adjust the drive signal to make the actual vibration signal aligned with the test specification. Looking at how this system works, it is clear that the vibration controller is playing a very important part to accuracy of the vibration testing.
The accuracy of all measuring devices degrades over time. This is typically caused by normal wear and tear. Depending on the type of the instrument and the environment in which it is being used, it may degrade very quickly or over a long period of time. Calibration improves the accuracy of the measuring device and the accurate measuring devices improve product quality.
Managing the accuracy of your measuring devices is an important job, often leading the technicians and engineers to ask “How often should I recalibrate my accelerometers, controllers or vibration meters?”
As a team of vibration test and measurement experts, we understand the frustrations of a test that results are unexpected or unreliable data, a sensor that has passed its calibration date or even worse, realizing necessary measuring devices are out for calibration.
