METROLOGY - CALIBRATION
  1. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF CALIBRATION
    1. To provide confidence about a measurement instrument's accuracy and repeatability
    2. Calibration should be traceable via UKAS accreditation
      1. WHAT IS CALIBRATION ABOUT?
        1. the instrument
          1. information handling
            1. data analysis
              1. intervals
                1. Uncertainties/error analysis
                  1. error due to calibration should be a maximum of 10% or permissible error of the instrument or measuring process being calibrated
                    1. 1:10
                      1. 10X rule
                    2. environment
                      1. people
                      2. More accurate = More expensive
                        1. Can never measure the true exact value except in CAD
                          1. Equipment has a tolerance
                            1. Out by 10 micrometres
                              1. If we know the tolerance we can compensate
                            2. CALIBRATION ENVIRONMENT
                              1. difficult to control
                                1. Is a function of
                                  1. Temperature
                                    1. Humidity
                                      1. electrostatic fields
                                        1. Human interaction
                                          1. pressure
                                            1. vibration
                                              1. Electromagnetic fields
                                              2. Calibrator must be aware of all potential sources of error
                                              3. Stability is required to process many measurements across time
