It is a stringent requirement for all quality systems to calibrate the equipment used for measurements. The International Vocabulary of Metrology defines the term calibration as an “operation that, ...

Why is calibration important? How calibration techniques have changed over time. A timeline showing the evolution of calibration from the beginning would have to start hundreds of years ago (Fig. 1).

Vibration calibration and measurement techniques are critical for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of sensors and instrumentation employed in diverse fields such as civil engineering, seismology, ...

A reliable assessment of measurement uncertainty in calibration services is an essential qualitative requirement for any calibration laboratory. While general guidance on the estimation of measurement ...

How does Thermo Fisher Scientific's analytical software support the calculation of measurement uncertainty? Wilhelm Sanders: According to DIN EN ISO 17025, it is necessary to calculate the measurement ...

Performing a measurement uncertainty calculation is often seen as problematic. One of the barriers to be overcome in the wider application of measurement uncertainty (MU) to reportable values is the ...

In 2006, two professional Metrology organizations partnered to create job descriptions for workers in the Metrology field. Their intent was to submit them for inclusion into the 2010 SOC (Standard ...

The 2007 Measurement Science Conference will take place next week, January 22-26, in Long Beach, CA. The final two days feature technical sessions on many aspects of measurement and calibration.
