INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION

Precision, measuring accuracy

As Irelands leading provider of Calibration, Validation and Commissioning services we are always looking for new and skilled Engineers and technicians from across the globe to join our every expanding team.

Calibration - measuring quality

Most major industry regulation authorities, such as the HPRA and FDA require that manufacturing equipment is maintained to the highest standard by a routine maintenance schedule. Calibration of instrumentation and execution of preventative maintenace routines are key to ensuring accuracy and compliance.

Calibration is the comparison of measurement instrumentation readings to a calibration standard of known accuracy. Using traceable reference standards we aim to provide a 4:1 accuracy ratio for all our calibrations between the reference standard and the device under test.

As almost all instruments will drift over time as a result of normal wear they will require regular calibration. Some equipment will drift less than others but regardless of drift tendencies, it is important that calibrations are performed in order to ensure the quality and integrity of manufactured products and confirm that all systems are reliable and accurate to ensure compliance.

Maximise the quality of your processes and end product

Calibration Intervals will usually depend on the criticality, application and environment of the device. If a unit is critical to the process then it should be calibrated at a more regular interval (3 -6 Months). A device in constant use or operating in a harsher environment could drift more easily and therefore require more frequent calibration. Measuring accuracy also plays an important role when defining the necessity of a calibration.

Instrument calibration should always be a regular or planned part of the standard operational procedure (SOP), as it can have a crucial impact on the result if the sensor is not measuring correctly, even at very small deviations.
