Calibration ensures the correct measuring results (READ MORE)
At all stages of production the accuracy of measurements is crucial in ensuring that the product meets the customer’s quality requirements. The measurements can also relate to safety issues, and accuracy and reliability are important factors in this. With time, the accuracy of every instrument changes to some extent and the results may not be fully reliable. For the sake of reliability all the measuring devices and gauges used by Tekotekniikka are calibrated regularly. During the calibration process the reading of the display is compared to traceable national and international measuring standards. In short, calibration can be described as a process where the tested instrument is compared to a known reference value:
– Calibration ensures the correct measuring results (volume, length, electricity, flow, pressure, temperature, etc.)
– Accurate measurements save costs
– Calibration keeps the quality of the product high and consistent
– Calibration is necessary in order to meet quality standards and the requirements of the authorities
– Calibration ensures production optimization and capacity
– Calibration secures the safety-related properties
THE COSTS AND RISKS OF NEGLECTING CALIBRATION
– Neglecting calibration may lead to unexpected production stoppages, problems in quality or recall of products
– Endangering the safety of workers
– Endangering the safety of customers / consumers
– Loss of licence, if the requirements of the authorities cannot be fulfilled
– Direct financial losses
