Calibration Kits

Calibration Kits

Calibration is performed on various analytical measurement devices to maintain accuracy, repeatability, and measurement standardization. In addition, calibration helps achieve reliable results and benchmarks. Every piece of equipment used in process industries and manufacturing industries requires calibration. At Cannon Water Technology, we provide calibration solution test kits. These kits feature chemicals used for testing clinical or industrial instruments to assure their long-term performance. Our chemical calibration kits are sourced from leading brands like Myron L.

Features of Chemical Calibration Kits Offered by Cannon Water

All industrial handheld equipment is factory calibrated using NIST traceable standard solutions. These standard solutions possess specific conductivity/ppm values. Chemical calibration kits from Myron L are designed to calibrate Myron L instruments. We believe the following features of these kits have contributed to their immense popularity among our clients.

  • The kit features standard solutions, which are created using reagent salts under strictly controlled conditions. For instance, 442 in Myron L TDS 442-3000 refers to 40% sodium bicarbonate, 40% sulfate, and 20% sodium chloride. This salt combination is usually preferred in this and many other chemical solution brands because natural water salt concentration and type may greatly vary across locations. 
  • The salts are combined with deionized water with high resistivity and purity values for creating an effective calibration solution. 
  • The solutions usually have +/-1% accuracy based on values published in the international critical tables and are traceable to NIST standards. 
  • Regular use of these calibration solutions can assure instrument accuracy. 
  • Our calibration solution test kits are used for measuring cooling and boiling water samples, lakes, wells, city supply sources, and more.

Benefits of Calibrating an Instrument

Some of the important benefits of calibrating instruments are as follows:

  • Calibration ensures that the instrument is measuring an accurate value.
  • This eliminates any false information directed by the instrument.
  • There are applications that rely entirely upon accurate values. The calibration solution confirms that the instrument is displaying accurate numbers.
  • This helps in maintaining business standards for quality measurement systems.
  • Regular calibration of the instruments maintains the warranty of the application.

At Cannon Water Technology, we strive to deliver you the best solutions for all your commercial calibration needs. We understand how measurement accuracy and quality measures in various environments. This is why we have always tried to include the best products in our inventory. In case you come up with any query regarding our calibration solution kits or any of our products used for water and wastewater treatment, then please feel free to contact us.

FAQ:

  • What is a calibration kit in testing chemicals?

A calibration kit in testing chemicals is a collection of reference materials and tools used to calibrate and verify the accuracy of analytical instruments and equipment used for chemical testing.

  • Why are calibration kits used in chemical testing?

Calibration kits are used to establish a known reference point for analytical instruments. They ensure that the instruments provide accurate and reliable measurements by comparing the instrument's response to known reference materials.

  • What components are typically included in a calibration kit?

Calibration kits may include certified reference standards or substances with known properties or concentrations, calibration curves or charts, calibration tools (such as syringes, pipettes, or calibration weights), and documentation or instructions for proper calibration procedures.

  • How are calibration kits used in chemical testing?

Calibration kits are used to calibrate instruments by comparing their readings or responses to the known values provided by the calibration standards. The calibration process involves adjusting the instrument's settings or calibration factors to align with the reference materials.

  • How often should instruments be calibrated using calibration kits?

The frequency of calibration depends on several factors, including the instrument type, manufacturer's recommendations, regulatory requirements, and the specific application. Instruments may need calibration daily, weekly, monthly, or at other specified intervals.

  • How accurate are calibration kits?

Calibration kits provide accurate reference materials, but the accuracy of the calibration ultimately depends on the quality of the reference materials, the instrument's capability, and the calibration process itself. Following proper calibration procedures and using high-quality calibration standards is essential for obtaining accurate results.

  • Why is calibration important?

Calibration is essential to ensure that measuring instruments provide accurate and reliable measurements. Over time, instruments can drift from their original calibration, leading to inaccurate readings. Calibration helps correct these deviations, ensuring the instrument's accuracy and maintaining the quality of measurements.

  • How do I use a calibration kit?

The specific steps for using a calibration kit will depend on the instrument being calibrated and the instructions provided with the kit. Generally, the process involves preparing the instrument, selecting the appropriate calibration solutions or standards, adjusting the instrument's settings or readings based on the reference values, and documenting the calibration results. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and any specific guidelines for your instrument.

  • Are calibration kits available for different industries?

Yes, calibration kits are available for various industries and applications. There are specialized calibration kits tailored to specific industries such as electrical, mechanical, chemical, or medical. These industry-specific calibration kits contain the necessary components and solutions to meet the unique calibration requirements of each industry.

  • What are the different types of instrument calibration solutions?

Instrument calibration solutions vary based on the type of instrument. Common types include pH calibration solutions, conductivity calibration solutions, gas calibration standards, and others designed for specific parameters.
