What is Calibration?

Calibration is the process of testing and adjusting instruments and equipment to ensure they measure accurately. Whether it’s a pressure gauge, thermometer, scale, or electrical device, ensuring that these tools provide precise readings is critical in many industries, such as healthcare, manufacturing, and aerospace.

​

Examples of Calibrated Equipment:

• Pressure gauges

• Thermometers

• Scales and balances

• Electrical instruments like multimeters

• Mechanical tools such as torque wrenches and pressure gauges
