Calibration and Adjustment
Background During calibration, a calibration weight is used to determine how much the
displayed value deviates from the actual measurement value. This deviation is
compared against a preset target value. The subsequent adjustment corrects this
deviation or reduces the permissible error limits.
Calibration and adjustment are combined in one process in the moisture analyzer.
When and How Often The moisture analyzer must be calibrated and adjusted, for example:
– When the ambient conditions have changed (temperature, humidity, or air
pressure)
– When the moisture analyzer is set up in a different location or moved in its
current location.
An external calibration weight is required for calibration and adjustment
(100 g).
Please note the tolerance of the calibration weight being used.
