Calibration

Any analogue or digital refractometer will only give correct results if it is checked regularly, i.e. calibrated correctly and adjusted when required. A refractometer or another measuring device is only a reliable measuring and checking tool if it is calibrated and this calibration is documented as part of a quality procedure.

Measuring “correctly” is of elementary significance, as it is not unusual for inaccurate or “wrong” measurements to have expensive economic consequences. Calibration or establishing the accuracy of checking equipment must therefore be carried out by laboratories throughout the world.

In the context of standard requirements for monitoring checking equipment, every company with a Quality Management system is obliged to test and document its measuring equipment at regular intervals. The refractometer calibration certificate documents the intended measuring functionality and confirms the measuring accuracy of your refractometer to you.
