A wrongly calibrated instrument is one that shows the wrong measurement. For example, alcohol in a thermometer rises with temperature; but the exact marks for 0 degrees, 10 degrees, ... 100 degrees (for example) may be wrongly placed, so that, when the temperature really is 30 degrees, the thermometer only shows 28 degrees (for example). Any instrument will have some error of this type, but the idea of calibration is to keep this kind of error reasonably small.

What is the meaning of the word calibrated?

If you calibrate something it means that you mark an instrument with a scale of readings. To calibrate something also means that you compare the scale with a known scale of another instrument. This insures something is accurate.


How do you extend the range of an ac volt meter?

How is a javal keratometer calibrated?

A javal keratometer is calibrated by placing a known diameter ring on the instrument and adjusting the magnification until the image of the ring matches the known diameter. The instrument is then ready to measure the curvature of the cornea by analyzing the image reflections. Calibration ensures accurate and reliable measurements of corneal curvature.
