Calibration Techniques

How important is calibration in industry?

Why calibration is needed for every instrument/measuring instrument? See the meaning of calibration below.

Calibration is an activity to determine the bias against the value of the instrument or the actual work by comparing standards according to national/international standards with the aim of making calibration results accountable, improving product or research quality, and so that all laboratory equipment gets calibrated.

Measurement (calibration) and uncertainty are two things that cannot be separated, because they are connected to one thing called value. In other words, calibration is carried out to determine the results in the form of a value (quantitative) using an instrument (a tool that meets academic requirements).

In other words, each measuring instrument must be calibrated periodically.

This is because the regular use of an instrument and its lifespan can decrease the value of an instrument. Because the final result of a good production depends on the consistency of each measuring instrument/instrument. A change/decrease in the value of the measuring instrument means a decrease in the quality of your final product.

In operation, calibration activities must involve human labor to operate measuring instruments/instruments to determine results in the form of values ​​in accordance with applicable standards/conventional values. Although in reality, none of the results are really in accordance with conventional values.

So, the operators/technicians in charge of carrying out these measurements must understand the measuring standards (standard calibration tools and methods according to national and international standards) so as to be able to maintain the condition of the measuring instruments and measuring materials in accordance with their specifications. Because periodic use can result in changes in the scale of the measuring instrument/instrument, so it must be re-calibrated.

Operators/technicians in charge of calibration must also have certified calibration technical capabilities so that measurement results are guaranteed in accordance with applicable National and International standards.

What will you learn when you take the Calibration and Uncertainty Training?

  1. Laboratory requirements based on ISO 17025:2017.
  2. Basic concepts, knowledge and procedures Calibration includes measurement uncertainty.
  3. Mass measurement and calibration (Weights) – theory and methods of calibration.
  4. Measurement and Calibration Measurement (Thermometer) – theory and calibration modes.
  5. Dimensional measurement and calibration (Caliper) – theory and calibration modes.
  6. Simulation and practice of calibration scales, calipers and thermometers.
  7. Calibration reporting.

Now the Calibration and Uncertainty Training at Sintesa Cipta Karya can be carried out with various methods such as:

  • Public Training, conducted offline along with other participants from various companies/organizations.
  • In-House Training, for those of you who want to register a group in a company with a schedule that you can submit yourself.
  • Virtual Training, live online training with our trainers and not blocked by location, can be done anywhere as long as you have an internet network.
