Calibration
- Check that measuring instruments are correctly installed, maintained and preserved.
- Comparison of the current readings to the standard accurate reading.
- Preventive and Corrective maintenance.
- Predictive and Conditional maintenance.
Refers to the “comparison of the current readings to the standard accurate reading”. Calibration is performed to determine any drift or deviation in readings or inaccurate results. Transmitters are used in various process industries to measure temperature, pressure, level, and flow of media. The plant operators use the readings provided by these transmitters for process optimizations.
What are the advantages of the periodic Calibration and maintenance (3 months) proposed ?
-
a) Already reassures regarding the internal verification policy and through comparisons of the various data reported.
b) Reassures of the reliability of the transmitters.
c) Ensures the proper functioning of the self-monitoring system.
d) Optimization of production.
e) Reduction and prevention of risks
f) Minimizes operating costs
