RE: 19-08-2025-Mechanical Measurements - Static Calibration [EN]-[IT]
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Did you know that today, static calibration is considered correct only if performed in accordance with ISO standards?
While ISO standards are incredibly important and represent a benchmark for best practices, stating that a static calibration is ONLY correct if it follows an ISO standard is an oversimplification. Correctness in calibration is more about ensuring the measurement is fit for purpose and has a known, documented level of uncertainty. Adhering to a recognized standard, like one from ISO, is the most common and robust way to achieve this, but other standards and procedures can also yield a "correct" calibration depending on the context and requirements.
Correct is in the eye of the beholder. However, if there is an ISO enforcer looking over my shoulder, I'll be quick to comply. !BBH
Thanks for stopping by.
Your comment is excellent. The typical static calibration procedure involves preparing the instrument, applying known loads, recording the readings, comparing and analyzing them, and finally, making any necessary adjustments. Static calibration in the context of mechanical measurements is governed by various ISO standards, and I believe this helps in a world where there is so much diversity. As you wrote, however, it is important to perform it correctly. !LADY
