The Importance of Instrument Calibration

Process systems are loaded with instrumentation performing critical measurements of pressures, temperatures, flows, weights, and many other data points.  Unfortunately, time, along with normal wear-and-tear and even electrical or mechanical shock, can degrade instrument accuracy.  Instruments that are out of calibration (which is the comparison of an instrument with a known standard) can lead to significant issues including waste, recalls, and safety.  Take a look at the July issue of Hixson’s From Experience newsletter where we answer some of the most common questions about instrument calibration.
