NIST/NPL Calibration
• Traceable calibration is a reliable calibration technique based on a national standard.
• Mandatory for various industries including aerospace, R&D, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare.
• Types include electrical, mechanical, thermal, and optical calibration.
• Benefits include improved measurement precision, regulatory adherence, enhanced quality, and accuracy.
• Calibration standards established by international bodies like ISO and NIST ensure consistent and reliable measurements.
• Optimal gage block calibration frequency depends on factors like use frequency, environmental conditions, industry requirements, and equipment performance.
