Glassware like beakers is vital in many manufacturing and laboratory settings. Calibrating such measuring equipment can improve safety for future customers and for employees who use the equipment daily. Our technicians at Garber Metrology have the necessary expertise and equipment to provide beaker calibration services to ensure that your lab equipment provides measurements within an acceptable range.
Beakers are cylindrical containers with a flat bottom and an open top. They are typically quite wide in comparison to their height. They also include a spout for easy pouring and usually have measurement marks to determine the volume of liquid contained inside.
These containers are used primarily in chemical, biological, clinical and industrial laboratories to store and mix liquids. Proper calibration ensures accurate measurements.
Many factors influence the accuracy of a beaker’s measurements, meaning that your best calibration option is to bring your equipment to a professional testing laboratory. In these locations, technicians will perform the following steps to calibrate your beakers:
In professional calibration settings, laboratory personnel also control for things like humidity and air pressure, which can impact volume measurements.
Typically, you should seek calibration services quarterly or semiannually. In some cases, you should calibrate equipment every month.
Proper beaker calibration involves a comprehensive understanding of several scientific principles related to volume and fluids:
