What is frequency of calibration?
A- The frequency of calibration is the time period between calibrations. Frequency or “cycle” of calibration is usually determined by use, abrasive atmospheres, wear, type of instrument or gage, accuracy of tool or gage, handling, environment and other conditions that could cause inaccuracy in measurement or performance. General rule of thumb is a frequency of one year is initially established and then as indicated by the calibrated data the frequency may be lengthened or shortened in order to provide the necessary performance protection.
