Regular calibration advised
June 1st 2011 Noise measurement specialist,
Cirrus Research is advising owners
of noise measurement equipment to
ensure that their
instruments are
calibrated regularly by
an approved laboratory.
This will help verify that
the instruments are
providing accurate
measurements
throughout the year.
It is vital that noise
measurement
instruments measure
accurately, not only to
meet standards,
regulations and
guidelines, but to clarify on an
ongoing basis whether noise damage
is occurring in the workplace or the
environment.
Each time a piece of equipment is
used it should automatically be
calibrated using an acoustic
calibrator (field calibration), both
before and after each
measurement. However,
due to the precise nature of
a measurement instrument
it should be subject to
routine factory verification
to ensure that it continues
to perform accurately and
operate to its original
specifications.
Cirrus Research provides
calibration and repair
services for the entire
Cirrus noise measurement
product range with fully
trained engineers with many years
experience in the industry making
sure the products are as good as new. More articles from Cirrus Research plc: |
