Calibration and Adjustment for Thermal Analysis

Enhance Your Understanding and Ensure the Accurate Performance of Your Instruments

Calibration of an instrument involves comparing a measured value with that of a reference substance of known accuracy. Adjustment corrects any deviations by realigning the instrument’s output with a known standard.

Why calibration and adjustment matter

Correct calibration and adjustment procedures are essential for ensuring instrument accuracy and precision. They enable reproducible results and confident decision-making in both research and industrial applications.
