Guide to Multimeter Calibration

A multimeter earns its trust one reading at a time, but that trust has a defined shelf life. Internal components shift, drift accumulates and a display that appears normal can continue reporting values that no longer reflect true measurements. Multimeters need calibration at regular intervals. Facility personnel responsible for measurement accuracy typically understand that calibration […]

The aerospace and defense industries are facing a mandatory transition from AS9100 to IA9100. Over 29,000 certified companies in the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) OASIS directory must update their quality management systems (QMS) to the new International Aerospace standard. IA9100 introduces stricter product safety requirements, information security mandates, enhanced supplier oversight and expanded data-driven process […]

Every time you apply torque to a critical fastener, you’re trusting your wrench to deliver the exact clamping load specified. But even the most reliable torque wrenches drift out of calibration over time as internal springs lose tension and mechanical components wear down. One day, the tool that once guaranteed precision will apply excessive or […]

In many industries, the precision and accuracy of measuring tools are paramount. The micrometer, a staple in machine shops, manufacturing floors and quality control labs, provides precise, accurate measurements that even calipers cannot match.   Understanding the micrometer calibration procedure ensures your measurements are trustworthy, your parts meet specifications and your operations run smoothly.  The Importance […]

Taking the time to properly calibrate a beaker is essential for high-stakes outcomes such as product quality and safety. In countless scientific, industrial and food and beverage settings, even minor inaccuracies in liquid measurement can lead to significant repercussions. Precision in volume is a critical requirement that safeguards everything from experimental integrity in a lab […]

Precision is critical in sectors like aerospace, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and automotive. Even the smallest deviation in torque can compromise safety, triggering regulatory violations or costly recalls. In these high-stakes industries, torque calibration is more than a routine maintenance step. Choosing the best torque calibration tool​ for the job ensures your equipment remains accurate/precise, your processes […]

Thermometers can take many forms, all of which may be tested in different ways. Generally, the best way to calibrate a thermometer is to physically heat or cool the sensors to a known temperature, then compare the output to that temperature.  If the thermometer does not provide the known temperature, it should be adjusted. To […]

What Is Dimensional Calibration? Dimensional calibration is the process of determining the accuracy of an instrument’s measurements by comparing its physical dimensions to a known standard. This process checks key characteristics of instruments such as calipers, gauges and micrometers, keeping them within specified tolerances.  The Critical Role of Dimensional Calibration Checking and adjusting measuring instruments against certified […]

Accurate vacuum readings ensure quality, safety and compliance across industries. They serve as a vital indicator of process control, allowing operators to monitor conditions and provide verifiable data during inspections. Expert calibration of a vacuum gauge is an essential preventive measure that keeps your operation running. At Garber Metrology, we help clients maintain accuracy with […]

Every year on May 20, the global measurement community celebrates World Metrology Day, which marks the initial signing of the Metre Convention. For 2026, the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) and the International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) have announced the theme:  Metrology: Building Trust in Policy Making As the science of measurement, metrology serves as the […]
