How to Select Calibration Testers
Choosing a Calibration Tester should be based on several factors, such as:
1. Type of instrument to be calibrated. You should select an instrument that can test the type of measuring instrument you want.
2. Resolution of measurement. Select an instrument with sufficient resolution for your application.
3. Customizability. An instrument that is easily customizable will help speed up the calibration process.
Maintenance of Calibration Testers
Maintenance of Calibration Testers is important to ensure the longevity of the instrument and maintain its accuracy.
1. Cleaning After use, the instrument should be cleaned to reduce the accumulation of dust and dirt.
2. Regular Calibration. Calibration Testers should be calibrated regularly to ensure accuracy.
3. Storage in a dry and cool place. To prevent corrosion and moisture damage
