Ensuring Accuracy and Reliability Testing Calibration Drift over Extended Periods of Time with Eurolab

In todays fast-paced business environment, accuracy and reliability are crucial for companies to maintain their competitive edge. One often-overlooked aspect of quality control is calibration drift, which can have significant consequences if left unchecked. Calibration drift refers to the gradual change in a measurement instruments performance over time, resulting in inaccurate readings. To mitigate this risk, Eurolab offers a specialized laboratory service Testing Calibration Drift over Extended Periods of Time.

What is Calibration Drift?

Calibration drift occurs when an instruments calibration becomes less accurate due to various factors such as

Aging of components

Environmental changes (temperature, humidity, etc.)

Wear and tear on moving parts

Changes in material properties

This gradual degradation can go unnoticed until it affects the quality of products or services, leading to costly rework, recalls, or even business closures. In extreme cases, calibration drift can compromise safety standards, posing risks to people and the environment.

Why is Testing Calibration Drift Essential for Businesses?

Testing calibration drift over extended periods of time is critical for businesses across various industries, including

Manufacturing Ensures products meet quality and regulatory requirements.

Healthcare Prevents errors in medical devices and equipment.

Energy Maintains safety standards in power generation and distribution.

Food Processing Ensures accurate measurements to prevent contamination.

The consequences of neglecting calibration drift can be severe. By testing calibration drift, companies can

Prevent Product Failure Reduce the risk of products failing due to inaccurate measurements.

Avoid Economic Losses Minimize costs associated with rework, recalls, and legal liabilities.
