We tell you five clear signs that indicate that it is time to calibrate your pressure gauges:
1. Readings are not consistent
If you observe variations between pressure gauges of the same system or results that are not expected, there may be a mismatch or drift in the measurement.
2. The instrument was subjected to blows or overpressure
A drop or excess of pressure can alter the internal mechanism of the pressure gauge, affecting its accuracy.
3. More than a year has passed since the last calibration
Time is a critical factor. Most equipment requires recalibration annually, or sooner if use conditions are severe.
4. It is used in critical or highly demanding processes.
In systems where safety, quality or regulatory compliance are essential, calibration should be verified more frequently.
5. The pressure gauge was repaired or adjusted
Any mechanical intervention or maintenance can modify the reading. Recalibration is essential after any adjustment.
In accordance with Guide ILAC-G24:2007 / OIML D 10 “Guidelines for the determination of calibration intervals of measuring instruments”, the responsibility for establishing calibration intervals falls exclusively on the user of the equipment. Flexilatina de Colombia provides you with technical guidance based on experience or manufacturer recommendations, but the final decision must consider the actual conditions of use, the criticality of the process, the performance history of the instrument, and the internal policies of the user management system.
Calibrating your pressure gauges on time ensures reliable measurements, avoids process failures and prolongs the useful life of your equipment.
Trust us to keep precision in check. At Flexilatina de Colombia SAS we have a pressure Laboratory with ONAC accreditation, valid to date, with accreditation code 09-LAC-031, under the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard.
