White Paper- How Often Should Instruments be Calibrated?

Product catalog summary

Introduction
This document discusses the importance of calibration frequency for instruments in manufacturing plants, emphasizing the use of calibration history trend analysis to optimize calibration intervals and improve efficiency.

Calibration History Trend Analysis
Plants can enhance efficiency and reduce costs by analyzing calibration history trends using Beamex CMX Calibration Software. This analysis helps determine which instruments require more or less frequent calibration based on their stability and criticality to plant operations.

Current Practices
A survey by Beamex revealed that 50% of process manufacturing companies calibrate instruments no more than once a year, with variations across sectors like pharmaceuticals, which calibrate more frequently due to regulatory demands.

Benefits of Calibration History Trend Analysis

Determines optimal calibration intervals, reducing unnecessary calibrations.
Ensures instruments meet technical specifications and do not drift out of tolerance.
Facilitates supplier evaluation by comparing sensor performance across manufacturers.

When to Adjust Calibration Frequency

Decrease frequency if instruments are stable and non-critical.
Increase frequency if instruments drift significantly, are in critical areas, or impact economic and safety aspects.

ISO 9001:2000 Requirements
The document outlines ISO 9001:2000 standards for monitoring and measuring devices, emphasizing calibration at specified intervals, safeguarding equipment, and maintaining records to ensure conformity and valid results.
