Calibrating a pH meter before use ensures accurate and reliable readings. It establishes a reference point for the meter to accurately measure pH levels in the solution being tested. Failure to calibrate can result in inaccurate readings, which can lead to incorrect conclusions and potential errors in experimental results.
Using a calibrated pH-meter with correction for temperature and slope.
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.
Use a calibrated flask.
To calibrate an RF power meter, you would typically use a calibrated power source at different known power levels. Connect the power source to the input of the power meter and adjust the calibration settings on the power meter until the displayed power matches the known power levels. Repeat this process at multiple power levels to ensure accuracy across the full range of the power meter.
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.
To use a force meter, you typically attach it to the object you want to measure the force applied to. Make sure the force meter is properly calibrated and zeroed out before taking measurements. Then, apply force to the object and read the force measurement displayed on the force meter.

To adjust the flow meter at the pump, first ensure that the pump is turned off and depressurized for safety. Locate the calibration or adjustment screws on the flow meter, which may vary by model. Use a calibrated flow reference to compare the reading on the flow meter and adjust the screws accordingly to match the reference flow rate. Finally, recheck the readings after adjustments to ensure accuracy before restarting the pump.
The altimeters have to be proper calibrated to provide the correct data.
Through the use of a 'multiplier', i.e. a carefully-calibrated resistor connected in series with (in the case of an analogue instrument) the instrument's operating coil.

There are two ways. With small circuit currents, connect an amp meter in series with the circuit that you want to measure. The meter actually becomes part of the circuit. The second way is with a clamp on amp meter. On AC circuits it acts like a transformer. The magnetic field that is created around a wire, when the current is flowing, cuts the wire coils in the clamp on meter and gives a calibrated readout on an analog or digital readout in the handle of the meter.
To measure gas accurately and efficiently, use a gas meter or flow meter to track the amount of gas consumed. Ensure the meter is calibrated correctly and regularly checked for accuracy. Keep track of usage patterns and monitor for any leaks or inefficiencies in the system.
To effectively use a laser distance meter for accurate measurements, follow these steps: Ensure the meter is calibrated and the batteries are fully charged. Aim the laser at the target point and press the measure button. Keep the meter steady and avoid any obstructions in the path of the laser. Record the measurement displayed on the meter. Repeat the process for multiple measurements and calculate the average for increased accuracy.

Do you mean calibrated? The motorist calibrated the amount of fuel he would use if he travelled 130km at 90km per hour.
Some common errors in the use of a thermometer include not allowing it to equilibrate to the surrounding temperature before use, placing the tip in the mouth incorrectly or too quickly, and not properly cleaning and storing the thermometer after each use. Additionally, using a thermometer that is expired or damaged can also lead to inaccurate readings.
