Choose the right calibration-recall method
Article Abstract:
Out-of-calibration situations could be minimized while lowering calibration costs by using the proper calibration-recall methods that could reduce the need for scheduled calibration. Calibration-recall methods will guarantee the quality of the performance of measurement and test equipment within their respective accuracy and repeatability measurement limits. Four methods to calculate calibration intervals were provided with their respective advantages and disadvantages.
