THE ART OF CALIBRATION

I. Brezina

Abstract

Calibration of measuring instruments is one of the fundamental metrological activities. Calibration is a specific art of measurement, which requires a lot of theoretical knowledge on the measurement, technical and metrological parameters of the instrument under Calibration, as well as the other ability to make the calibration procedure in a suitable and right way. Without the properly calibrated measuring instrument no measurement could be declared as correct and traceable to the national or international standard.<BR />In this paper, we will explain the basic requirements and practical principles, which have to contribute to obtain correct and reliable calibration results.
