Calibration of measuring equipment: Why regular servicing matters
Calibration of measuring equipment is important when instruments need to deliver accurate and stable measurements over time. In industrial environments, measuring equipment is subject to use, wear and external influences throughout the working day. Regular servicing and calibration help maintain the equipment’s original level of performance and ensure reliable measurement results.
Why is calibration of measuring equipment important?
Calibration of measuring equipment is about ensuring that instruments continue to provide accurate and repeatable measurements. When measuring equipment is used in industry, operation, environmental conditions, temperature, mechanical wear and electrical influences can affect performance over time.
Regular checks, servicing and calibration are therefore recommended as part of ongoing maintenance. When the work is carried out by experienced professionals, it provides a better foundation for stable operation, greater reliability and fewer unexpected problems with measuring equipment.
Service agreement for AMETEK Land instruments
If you use instruments from AMETEK Land, an AMECare® service contract may be relevant. AMECare® is designed to ensure that instruments are professionally maintained and calibrated so they can perform to a high standard throughout the product’s lifetime.
A service agreement can include regular servicing, calibration, technical assessment and firmware updates. This provides both greater operational reliability and a more structured approach to maintaining measuring equipment.
What can a service and calibration agreement include?
A service and calibration agreement can help maintain instrument performance and reduce the workload of in-house technical staff. At the same time, fixed servicing, certification and calibration costs provide better budget control.
AMECare® service contracts include annual inspections and calibrations as standard. The instrument is handled by professional technicians in dedicated service centres equipped with specialist tools. Following the inspection, a report is prepared describing key observations and helping to identify technical problems such as mechanical wear or electrical faults.
Calibration and servicing can include:
- Review to identify issues that need to be resolved
- Initial technical assessment
- Thorough cleaning of the instrument
- Disassembly
- Inspection and any warranty repairs
- Rebuilding for factory calibration
- Firmware update to the latest version
- Optical adjustment
- Full calibration to factory standards
- Compliance testing
- Post-inspection reporting
Improved uptime, documentation and budget control
Regular calibration of measuring equipment provides greater reliability and better repeatability every time a measurement is taken. Service agreements can also help maximise uptime by identifying potential problems as part of ongoing maintenance.
A service agreement can also provide access to firmware updates, technical service and advice from product specialists. For businesses, this means more predictable ownership costs, better documentation and a stronger foundation for operations and quality assurance.
