What is Sensor Calibration and its Importance?

When engineers design modern process plants, they use sensors to measure the important process variables, including the flow, temperature and pressure. These measurements are crucial to process the control system and maintain the proper values in order for safe operation. But how do they guarantee that the actual value of the process is sensed and passed to the control system? Here sensor calibration plays a crucial role. You can find various calibration services in India offering the best laboratory facilities. Among them, Tempsens calibration center is an independent lab located at Vadodara and Bengaluru. The laboratory has highly stable calibration furnaces and measuring instruments, as well as accurate master sensors that can be traced back to National and International Standards. This ensures that our data is reliable and trustworthy. Furthermore, the laboratory provides both in-house and on-site temperature calibration.

In this article, you will learn more about what is sensor calibration and why it is important.


What is Sensor Calibration?

Sensors and other measuring systems are calibrated to check their accuracy and repeatability. The calibrated sensors or these measuring tools are necessary for precise and consistent measurement outputs. Thus, calibration is one of the crucial conditions used for effective quality assurance and industries must go with the finest calibration services in India.

Sensor calibration in measurement technology is the process of determining the relationship between values output by a sensor or measuring system and the corresponding values of a measurement established with standards. This relationship is known as the sensor's transfer function.

Why is Sensor Calibration so Important?

Even the most sensitive and exacting measurement tools, including sensors, can lose accuracy due to usage, aging and other environmental factors. Sensors that are calibrated on time are the prerequisite for reliable, precise and reproducible measurement systems. Many industries and businesses have quality assurance programs that require regular calibration of their measurement devices. That's why they look forward to the best calibration services in India. This is because, according to DIN EN ISO 9001, a method for test equipment monitoring needs to be implemented in order to ensure the accuracy of measurements.

Tempsens is the only private sector company in the nation with an accredited Fixed Point Temperature calibration laboratory. With prompt and fast services, they cover the wide temperature range from -196°C to 2900°C with a NABL certificate. Apart from the calibration services in India, we manufacture and provide high-quality thermal engineering products and accessories to meet specific client needs.
