Calibration and Maintenance
Accuracy, Reliability, Repeatability
WHEN YOU NEED THIS
Are you having inaccuracies with your batch weights? Are batch temperatures drifting during the process? The issues in your process may not always be mechanical. However, it could be a calibration issue.
The importance of calibration, maintenance, and repair programs cannot be overlooked in sanitary and hygienic processing operations. The cost of regular maintenance and repair is very small when compared to the cost of major equipment breakdowns, in addition to lost production.
CALIBRATION
Calibration is defined as the activity of checking, by comparison with a standard and also the accuracy of an instrument. It may also include adjustment of that instrument to bring it into alignment with the standard. Instruments definitely need to be calibrated on a regular schedule to:
- Insure readings are consistent with other measurements
- Determine the accuracy of the instrument
- Establish the reliability of the instrument
