RECEIVE NIST, ISO 17025, and Z540 Certificates of Compliance (CofCs) with Transducer Purchase

OhioSemitronics now provices a NIST traceable Certificate of Compliance (COC), A-7003-01, with each shipment at no additional charge. The certificate will provide confirmation your product has been calibrated to the stated specifications, ensuring you are receive the highest quality product.  The C of C confirms your transducer's calibration and performance to stated specifications.

The calibration is valid through 1 year after the purchase date.  An annual recalibration is recommended for transducers operating in critical applications.

Time, Temperature, Environmental Conditions, and Wear & Tare Can Cause Accuracy to Drift
Components age and materials can become degraded.  Temperature fluctuations, moisture, humidity and air quality can impact sensor performance.  And applications where vibration or mechanical stress are present can also adversely impact device accuracy.

An OSI Calibration Every One-to-Two Years Assures Operational Performance
You won’t know how these factors are affecting transducer performance until you receive your first recalibration. Whether it is after one year or two years, an OSI calibration will not only restore the device to its original specifications, but will quantify how much your application has caused device-accuracy to drift over time.

Why recalibrate?

Calibration is essential for several reasons across various industries, including science, engineering, and manufacturing. Key reasons why calibration is necessary:

1. Accuracy: Calibration ensures that sensors and transducers provide accurate readings. Accurate measurements are critical in many applications, such as medical equipment, environmental testing, and manufacturing processes.
   
   
2. Consistency: Regular calibration helps maintain consistency in measurements over time. This is particularly important in quality control processes where variations can lead to defective products or unsafe conditions.
   
   
3. Compliance: Many industries are subject to regulatory standards that require regular calibration of equipment. Compliance with these standards helps ensure safety, reliability, and quality.
   
   
4. Traceability: Calibration provides a traceable link to national or international standards. This traceability is essential for validating measurements and ensuring that they meet required specifications.
   
   
5. Performance Optimization: Calibrated instruments perform better because they are adjusted to account for any drift or changes over time. This leads to improved efficiency and reduced errors in processes.
   
   
6. Cost Savings: By ensuring that equipment is functioning correctly and providing accurate measurements, calibration can help prevent costly mistakes, reduce waste, and improve overall operational efficiency.
   
   
7. Research and Development: In research settings, accurate measurements are crucial for reproducibility and validity of results. Calibration helps ensure that experimental data is reliable.

Calibration is vital for maintaining the integrity of measurements, ensuring compliance with standards, optimizing performance, and ultimately saving costs and resources.
