What is calibration and what is its importance? Calibration is defined as an association between measurements â one of a scale or accuracy made or set with one piece of equipment and another measurement made in as similar a way as possible with a second piece of equipment.
Although the exact procedure may vary from product to product, the calibration process generally involves using the instrument to test samples of one or more known values called âcalibrators.â The results are used to establish a relationship between the measurement technique used by the instrument and the known values.
