Calibration Methods
There are multiple ways to perform calibration. Select the optimal method that matches the conditions within your company.
| Calibration type | Overview |
|---|---|
| In-house calibration | Certify a calibration specialist in-house, determine details such as the calibration interval and the calibration criterion, and then perform calibration. (Examples: Vernier calipers, micrometers, etc.) |
| External calibration (Off-site calibration) | Send the measuring instrument to a calibration organisation outside of the company, and have that organisation perform the calibration. (Examples: Gauge blocks, dial gauges, etc.) |
| On-site calibration | Submit a request to a calibration organisation to have them send a calibration specialist to your company in order to perform on-site calibration. (Examples: Optical comparators, coordinate measuring machines, etc.) |
