Different Types of Calibration and Application Areas

Calibration is divided into various types according to different measurement parameters. Scale and mass calibration are necessary for accurate weight measurements. Force calibration ensures the accuracy of tensile and compression testing devices. Electrical calibration guarantees the sensitivity of electrical measuring instruments such as voltmeters and ammeters, while pressure calibration ensures the correct operation of devices like manometers and barometers. Temperature calibration ensures reliable measurements by thermometers and heat sensors. These types of calibration are indispensable for ensuring accurate measurements of devices across different industries.
