Analog Ohmmeter is a magnet device. Small coils are wound against the base of a needle. Magnets surround these coils. A voltage is applied across your device to determine the current flow of the resistive device. The more current that passes through the device under test the more magnetic field that is produced. The stronger the magnetic field the further the needle will move. The further this needle moves the lower the resistance.

The ohmmeter can pick up external magnetism from various sources. Because of the small voltages applied this movement is very sensitive to these stray fields. The adjustment compensates for these errors. The ohm meter has its own internal battery supply. As the battery voltage drops the adjustment is used to compensate to keep the needle on zero, circuit open. When the needle can not be adjusted due to low battery voltage it is time to put in a fresh battery.

The pH meter needs to be calibrated before each use because over time it will lose calibration and it needs to be accurate.

How often are thermometers supposed to be calibrated?

Manufacturers recommend calibration intervals. Follow their recommendation. In practical terms, recalibration may be required sooner if the instrument is heavily used, used in many and diverse locations regularly or if it sustains damage. Knowledgeable users know when unusual results occur and get their instrument repaired and/or calibrated. There is another process that helps ensure accurate results and reduces cost and loss of use - compare your meter's performance with that of a recently calibrated unit in a side-by-side test. This does not re-certify a meter but it does reduce the likelihood of using an out-of-spec meter and having to re-survey a site.
