Calibration
Kalibrering
Extended note
Calibration must be understood together with date, standard, drift, environmental conditions, and the further measurement chain.
Limitations
Not the same as
- Automatic truth
- General validation
- Instrument name alone
Related terms
Methodological relevance
Instrumental findings should be traceable to calibration grounds and relevant tolerances.
Sources and principal occurrence
Source note: T5, the section on calibration and traceability.
- T5 — Models and RepresentationThe sustained theory document on models, measurement, simulation, validation, and assignment.
Correct and incorrect use
Correct use
The sensor was calibrated against this reference before the measurement series.
Incorrect or over-strong use
The instrument is advanced; therefore calibration need not be documented.
