The most basic rule of calibration is the most often overlooked. All equipment will go out of calibration for several different reasons including shock loading, voltage surges, poor handling, and general usage.
As a result, you may be losing more accuracy than you think. All of the circumstances above are out of most companies’ control.
| Hours Use Per Day | Recommended Number of Visits Per Year |
|---|---|
| 1 hour or less | ONCE (Accuracy not as important) |
| 1-2 hours | TWICE (Manufacturer recommendation) |
| 3-4 hours | QUARTERLY (Accuracy critical) |
| 5 or more hours | MONTHLY (Accuracy extremely critical) |
