Steps or precautions to be observed during calibration of a measurement system : 1) The calibration of any measuring system is very important to get meaningful results.Ģ) In the case where the sensing system and measuring system are different, then it is imperative to calibrate the system as an integrated whole in order to take into account the error producing properties of each component.ģ) Calibration is usually carried out by making adjustments such that the readout device produces zero output for zero-measured input, and similarly, it should display an output equivalent to the known measured input near the full-scale input value.Ĥ) It is important that any measuring system calibration should be performed under environmental conditions that are as close as possible to those conditions under which actual measurements are to be made.ĥ) It is also important that the reference measured input should be known to an as much greater degree of accuracy – usually, the calibration standard for the system should be at least one order of magnitude more accurate than the desired measurement system accuracy.
