New White Paper Discusses the Importance of Calibration
(PRWEB) May 16, 2017 -- Have you ever asked yourself, “What is calibration and why should I calibrate?” A new METTLER TOLEDO white paper discusses what calibration is and answers why it is so important.
“What Is Calibration?” describes balance or scale calibration as an essential part of achieving accurate results. Ignoring this important activity turns weighing into guesswork. This can cause problems for the process in which the measurement is used, damaging a company’s reputation for accuracy and quality.
No matter how high-quality a weighing instrument is, balances and scales become less reliable over time. This is because daily wear-and-tear and external factors such as mechanical shocks degrade balance performance and accuracy. Calibration uses a strict operational procedure to determine the difference between the instrument’s measured value and a test weight’s true value to determine if adjustment is necessary.
To learn more about this important act and what makes it so essential for ongoing accuracy, visit METTLER TOLEDO’s free online resource “Why Is Balance and Scale Calibration Important?”, select question 1, and download “What Is Calibration?” today.
