Calibration Standards: From Basic Principles to ISO Requirements

Calibration standards serve as the foundation for accurate measurements, with their significance extending far beyond basic quality control. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides comprehensive guidance on calibration processes, while ISO/IEC 17025 serves as the globally-accepted standard for ensuring valid results. Furthermore, calibration traceability creates an unbroken chain of measurements back to SI units, making these standards internationally recognized and trusted. This guide will walk you through the fundamentals of calibration standards,…

Calibration Curves: How to Create, Uses and More

Calibration curves serve as the backbone of analytical measurements across diverse industries, from pharmaceutical quality control to environmental monitoring. When you need to determine the concentration of an unknown substance, these powerful analytical tools provide the answer by comparing it to samples of known concentration.  Specifically, they work by plotting instrument response against concentration, often revealing a linear relationship that helps quantify unknown samples accurately. You’ll find calibration curves particularly vital in analytical chemistry and…

Pneumatic Pressure Testing

What is pneumatic pressure testing? Pneumatic pressure testing is a type of test that checks the integrity of a pressure system much like the traditional hydrostatic test however it uses air, nitrogen, or non-flammable/non-toxic gas for applications where water cannot be introduced as a test medium. These pneumatic tests are typically performed at lower pressure ranges than traditional hydrostatic tests. Pneumatic Pressure…

Understanding Pressure Gauge Calibration

What is pressure gauge calibration? The calibration of your pressure gauge or gauges guarantees the accurate readings you need to meet safety and compliance standards, while on the jobsite. Pressure gauge calibration determines that your pressure gauge is working properly, according to the manufacturer’s standards. Pressure gauges are some of the most commonly used instruments and can be found in almost every laboratory. The sheer abundance of pressure gauges in a lab can often lead…
