Best Answer

Test equipment is calibrated against a standard of some sort that is stable. In many cases these standards are traceable to the standards at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Maryland.

Your volt meter shows your generator is producing 145 volts will it damage your electrical equipment?

Yes it coudl damage equipment. Check voltage rating on equipment. However, there should be an adjustment somewhere on the generator to set the voltage properly. Also make sure your meter is calibrated. Check a known voltage source such as an outlet and compare readings.

Can a preliminary alcohol breath test give a false positive from passionate kissing someone who has been drinking?

Yes, poorly maintained equipment, a machine that is badly calibrated, spit from the person before you in the tube of the larger test equipment in station (such as the Intoxilyzer 5000) blood in the testing room... list goes on... of course a breath test can be inaccurate and give a false positive... always demand a blood test!

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.


What does a test tube measure?

that depends on the kind of test tube that you have. if a test tube is calibrated then it measures the volume of a liquid that is placed inside it. if the test tube is non calibrated then its meant for storage and mixing so it does not measure anything..
