15.3 Calibration

Indications for the determination of calibration intervals for METPOINT
The calibration cycle indicates in which time intervals a new calibration (recalibration) is to be carried out. In this
respect, the employment conditions of the respective measuring device play a decisive role.
Generally, the user is responsible for the determination of calibration intervals. If any instructions exist regarding
recalibrations, e.g. in the quality management manual, these periods shall be binding for recalibration.
The decision about how long the calibration interval may be shall therefore be made in consideration of the costs for
more frequent recalibrations on the one hand, and for possibly unusable measured values on the other hand.
For certain measurement conditions, such as a high number of operating hours (shift operation), extreme temperature
conditions, continuous alternating-load operation, dirt and moisture, calibration will be required at shorter intervals.
The employment conditions also take effect if the METPOINT
meaning that, in such an event, recalibration is required in any case. This includes cases of higher overload, dropping
of the unit, extreme temperature conditions, high moisture content in the compressed air and interventions into the
device for repair purposes.
By continuously tracking the calibration results, the user will be able to ascertain the typical long-term behaviour of the
employed measuring devices and determine the calibration intervals for his employment conditions on this basis, and
to extend or reduce these depending on the results.
Calibration cycle
At very high demands on the measuring accuracy, we recommend scheduling an interval for recalibration of six or even
three months, to begin with. If the measurement properties turn out to be stable after the first or the second
recalibration, the calibration interval can be extended to12 months. A corresponding method for the adjustment
(extension or reduction) of the calibration intervals should be a constituent part of the QM system.
Recalibration shall be carried out at the latest 12 months after the METPOINT
