Metrology the driving force behind industrial competitiveness!
Currently, metrology is present in all industries ; it encompasses all the used techniques to perform measurements. It defines the methodology to ensure and maintain measurements accuracy. It is integrated into the quality management system, as it plays a key role in ; validation production quality and customers’s satisfaction.
In industry, metrology becomes a worldwide. We expect it on a production line for metal parts where each part must be perfectly calibrated to fit into a more complex assembly.
Metrology also plays a key role in negligible applications. As in the agri-food or pharmaceutical field where it guarantees the maintenance of cold chain by measuring the temperature variations over the entire volume of the cold rooms.
Is calibration mandatory?
Initially, the calibration of a new measuring instrument consists in verifying its proper functioning, and estimating its measurement error and associating uncertainty.
Then, regular calibration warns against a possible incremental drift of the measuring instrument which can be caused by :
Presence of dirt, exposure to chemicals, and changes in ambient conditions such as humidity and temperature, ...
The advantages of instruments’calibration :
Reliable measurements
The use of a calibrated instrument guarantees confidence in the measurements. The results given by the instrument in the process will be accurate and reliable, as well as the final product.
Cost reduction
A calibrated instrument allows making decisions based on confi dence in measurements,
which will eliminate wastage, re-production or scrap.
Prevention against equipment drift
All instruments drift over time, the drift cannot be eliminated, but it can be detected
and quantified by using periodic calibration.
Compliance with quality requirements
Calibration is a pillar of successful audits (internal and external).
Increase in profits
Using calibration results within defined tolerances improves processes, resulting
in improved product quality and increased profits.
