multi-laboratory facility or on site. Instrument calibration is one of the primary processes used to maintain instrument accuracy. Calibration is the process of configuring an instrument to provide a result for a sample within an acceptable range. Eliminating or minimizing factors that cause inaccurate measurements is a fundamental aspect of instrumentation design.
PREMIER CALIBRATION implements all necessary compensation techniques in order to provide a dependable, precise calibration of each and every instrument sent in for NIST calibration, and uses first, if possible, primary standards, and then NIST calibrated secondary standards for all calibrations.
PREMIER CALIBRATION SERVICES believes that traceability is the key to accuracy for all instruments, regardless of function or manufacture. Most instruments are often not tested by the factory, at least not tested at more than one point, and then only one out of 100. Therefore, if your process is being controlled or monitored by a device that has been untested, you are possibly losing money through a lack of quality control you could have at a very reasonable price. Some industrial users of instrumentation do not fully realize that calibration procedures, based upon credible metrology procedures, are necessary to compensate for fluctuating variables such as temperature, pressure, aging of components, etc., If this is the case, instrumentation not traceable to NIST standards can lead to inconsistent or inferior products. The more assured your instrument measurements, the less energy and resources are wasted, and the greater your ability to compete in the marketplace. The only way to be certain that a calibration has been measured against a known and consistent accuracy standard is to require NIST traceability.
If you have a PREMIER Certification Sticker, you can be certain that each instrument has met or exceeded its manufacturer's specifications for accuracy; if you have a Document of Calibration, you can be assured that this instrument, when it left our door, was absolutely accurate as to its specified ratings, and/or was tested and calibrated to the above standards, and that you will not waste raw materials or service in ways you could not possibly determine.
