SPEKTRA as a service provider

  • Qualified professional advisory service
  • DAkkS accredited calibration laboratory
  • Minimized throughput time due to highly efficient flow of work
  • Measurement uncertainty on level of national metrology laboratories
  • Recommended if the quantity of measuring and test equipment to be calibrated is too small to justify a calibration system equipment investment
  • Limited space or other constraints make it difficult to justify the acquisition of a calibration system (e. g. disturbing environmental effects cannot be eliminated)
  • Cost reduction by outsourcing payroll and system costs of calibration

Why calibration is a must

A calibrated measuring instrument is indispensable:

  • taking precise measurements with well-known measurement uncertainty
  • taking measurements the results of which are commensurable
  • granting legal security as the results of the measurements taken can be traced to the respective national calibration standards

Calibration is performed by determining the values that a measuring instrument reads out when exposed to a precisely defi ned excitation quantity. If someone intends to take measurements, he or she should precisely know the characteristics of his or her measuring instrument and should be sure that his or her measurement results are commensurable with the measurement results obtained by third parties.
To obtain generally commensurable measurement results, the instruments must be traced to a national standard. This traceability is ensured and maintained by the calibration hierarchy. So everyone who wants to take precise and commensurable measurements should have his or her measuring instrumentation calibrated in regular intervals by an accredited calibration laboratory or perform the calibration routine himself using a traced calibration system.
