Calibration equipment is equipment used to test the accuracy of other equipment, and make sure it is as accurate as it needs to be.
If used on a set of bathroom scales, it might involve a set of weights that are known to weigh 20Kg, 30Kg, 40Kg, and so on. (These weights might be as much as 0.2Kg under or over weight, for example.)
These would then be put on the scales, to make sure the scales gave a reading that was 20Kg, 30Kg 40Kg. For bath room-scales the 20Kg weight might produce a reading from 19 to 21Kg, which is plus or minus 5%, IE an error of 5%, with the "calibration weights" 1.25% accurate. For bathroom scales this would be "OK"
Depending on what is being calibrated there would be a degree of error that would be allowed.
For scales in a hospital measuring drugs a 5% error (perfectly OK on the scales in your bathroom) could result in a fatal overdose.

What are the types of test used to verify the correct functioning of electronic equipment?
1. To test the functionality of a piece of electronic equipment, calibration tests can be performed in various ways. For example in equipment with variable outputs that are not calibrated (some power supplies), a test using a multimeter or oscilloscope (obviously both being within calibration) can be performed to compare the output voltage to the measured voltage and thus adjust the variable outputs to the correct value required. For pieces of equipment that do require calibration; if the equipment comes out of calibration before the re-calibration date, calibration should be performed or organised before use.
Which is the best calibration management software?
The process of calibrating different equipment can be processes to standard tolerance values. This process is not been an always easy to calibrate a large amount of equipment. By using this calibration management software of Qualityze, you can ensure equipment precision by coordinating and executing calibration procedures which comply with the standard values. This software enables you to standardize the calibration process in your organization and store all your device calibration records on a centralized platform. Calibration management software has the solution which helps to create the calibration criteria and tasks with the specific instructions to the right person for review, approval, and completion.
What is the common formula used when checking equipment calibration?
sources used for instrument checking and calibration irradiation of other materials, and radiography called
