Test equipment monitoring must assure that all equipment used for assuring product quality measures “correctly”.
In order to ensure that this is the case, all equipment must be calibrated on a regular basis, and must be traceable to national standards. Obtained, measured values must be documented as well. Accurate Calibration is accredit by ANAB in accordance with ISO 17025

Calibration is a process by means of which deviation of the display value  from the actual value is determined and documented for a given measuring instrument, or deviation of the output quantity from the nominal value for a given test instrument.
Measurement is thus performed which allows for a comparison of the device under test to a precise standard which can be traced back to national standards by means of a documented process. The objective of this process is to recognize and document deviations.

There are two options available:

1.  The instrument is adjusted in order to bring its values back into the allowable tolerance range, and then re-calibrated.
2. Adjustment is deliberately omitted because the user wants to document measuring deviation for long-term use of his measuring or test instrument during defined periods.

All customers who have implemented a quality control system in accordance with national standards. Companies can rest assured that all the equipment calibrated by ACI that is used for the assurance of product quality measures correctly and is traceable to national standards.

In order to continuously perform correct measurements, measuring and test equipment must be monitored and calibrated on a regular basis. The corresponding period is known as the calibration interval. Calibration should be performed in accordance to national standards requirements.

All furnaces and ovens should be properly instrumented and periodically tested for uniformity. The purpose of the uniformity survey is to determine the range of temperatures present at different locations in the furnace under normal operating conditions. A furnace is normally qualified through an initial comprehensive survey. This involves determining temperature variations by surveying at different ranges of temperatures. After initial qualification, periodic survey needs taken in accordance to national standards requirements. A uniformity survey should also be performed after any major repair to the furnace or when the operating integrity of the equipment may be in question.

Yes. Performing a process at the incorrect temperature is a frequent source of bad results or poor quality. Many material properties are temperature dependent, so ensuring that your temperature measurement is accurate is often critical for achieving good results. Variability of temperature either in accuracy of uniformity is a significant, and often unrecognized, contributor to reduce product quality and will result in a failed product.

Yes. The survey is performed by locating thermocouples at various locations within the usable working zone of the furnace. The exact location of the survey thermocouples varies between specifications. At least nine thermocouples will be located at points covering the outer extreme and the center of the working zone. ACI calibrates many types of furnaces/ovens. For complete list press here.

Accurate Calibration Ind. Is certified to: ISO/IEC 17025:2005 & ANZI/NCSL

ISO 17025 Accredited Calibration Service organization offer’s the highest level of confidence that calibrations are accurate, repeatable, and trustworthy. ACI Accredited to ISO 17025 is routinely audited by accreditation bodies to assure that the service ACI is actively maintaining and operating is in compliance with the requirements of ISO 17025. using ACI takes the burden of proof and compliance away from the operators and managers and puts the responsibility in the hands of ACI and the Accreditation Body.

Performing a test of running a process at the incorrect temperature is a frequent source of bad results. Variability of temperature in accuracy or uniformity is a significant contributor to reduce quality in products and inconsistency in test data. In order to assure that temperature are correct it is important to run temperature verification procedures that meet the most common requirements of laboratories and related manufacturing processes. ACI can verify accuracy on all types of equipment that utilize temperature control.
