CALIBRATION - CHECK EQUIPMENT

1. What is inspection? What is device calibration?

Equipment verification and calibration is the process of ensuring that measuring and testing equipment meets accuracy and reliability requirements. Here is the meaning of these two concepts:

- Equipment verification: Inspection is the process of determining and evaluating the accuracy of measuring and testing the equipment. It ensures that instrumentation meets regulatory requirements and standards for accuracy, resolution, repeatability and reliability. The inspection process is often performed by certification organizations or independent laboratories, and the inspection results are often recorded in certificates.

- Equipment calibration: Calibration is the process of comparing the measurement values of the equipment with determined and certified standard values. It is intended to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the measured values from the device. Calibration is usually performed by adjusting the instrument to ensure that it produces accurate results, or through assigning the instrument's measurement values to known reference values. Organizations that specialize in equipment calibration often have special equipment and procedures to perform calibration and provide calibration certificates for equipment.

Both equipment verification and calibration processes need to be performed periodically to ensure that measuring and testing equipment operates accurately and reliably during use.

2. Why must inspection - Calibrate equipment periodically

- Ensure accuracy: Periodic equipment inspection and calibration helps to ensure the accuracy of measurement and test values. Equipment that is not regularly inspected and calibrated may become inaccurate over time, due to wear, deformation or other phenomena. This can lead to bias and unreliable results.

- Compliance with regulatory requirements: In many fields, such as healthcare, industry, environment and safety, periodic equipment inspection and calibration is a mandatory requirement. Regulations and standards prescribe testing and calibration requirements to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measuring and testing equipment. Compliance with regulations not only ensures legal compliance, but also protects human health, the environment and ensures safety during equipment use.

- Ensuring reliability and performance: Periodic equipment testing and calibration helps to ensure the equipment reliability and performance. When devices are tested and calibrated, users can have confidence in the measurement and inspection results, minimizing the risk of bias and measurement errors. This is important in areas such as healthcare, scientific research, industrial production, energy and quality control.

- Early detection and reparation of problems: Periodic equipment inspection and calibration provides the opportunity to early detect problems, failures or unreliable equipment accuracy. This allows for reparations, adjustments or replacements to be made to defective components or equipment before they cause negative effects or reduce the performance of the measurement or test process.

3. List of inspection equipment

The equipment inspection list can include many types of equipment in different fields. Below are some common examples of the types of equipment commonly tested:

- Measuring equipment: Including electronic scales, moisture meters, pH pens, temperature pens, pressure meters, current meters, level meters, flow meters, gas meters, vibration measuring and other measuring equipment.

- Electrical testing equipment: Including insulation resistance meter, electric power meter, contact resistance meter, impulse response meter, open circuit meter, leakage current meter and electrical testing equipment other.

- Safety measuring and testing equipment: Including gas concentration meter, vapor concentration meter, radiation meter, noise meter, light meter, radiation meter and other measuring and testing equipment.

- Medical equipment: Including medical equipment such as blood pressure monitors, blood glucose monitors, blood oxygen level monitors, heart rate monitors and other medical devices.

- Environmental measuring and testing equipment: Including air quality meter, water pollution concentration meter, environmental temperature meter, humidity meter and other environmental measuring and testing equipment.

- Measuring and checking equipment in production: Including length gauges, size gauges, hardness gauges, pressure gauges, temperature gauges and other measuring and checking equipment during the production process other.

The specific equipment inspection checklist depends on the industry and the requirements of each regulation and standard.

4. Differences in FEC service provision

FEC is a professional service provider in the field of equipment inspection and calibration with outstanding advantages:

1/ Calibration onsite or at FEC by customer's choice of date.

2/ Apply stamp immediately after calibration

3/ Issue certificate after 3 days of calibration

4/ Support customers to receive equipment to FEC, and return it to the customer

5/ Payment within 30 days.

Routine equipment verification and calibration is a critical process to ensure the accuracy, reliability and performance of test and measurement equipment, comply with regulations and standards, and ensure safety and efficiency in different applications. Choosing the right unit with experience in the field of testing and calibration will help businesses to save maximum costs and time, to maintain maximum performance of equipment, and avoid disruption to operations and manufacturing business.
