AcSoft will be hosting a 40-minute webinar on sound absorption on Tuesday 24th October at 10am. The webinar will include a demonstration of measuring sound intensity live, AND in 3D. The webinar will be focussed on in-situ methods for measuring sound absorption, whilst including the role of sound intensity, in…

Calibration is a fundamental process that applies to various types of measuring instruments, ensuring their accuracy, reliability, and traceability. Calibration involves comparing the readings of an instrument to a known reference standard or a traceable measurement. Here are the key reasons why it is necessary to calibrate instruments: Accuracy and…

Traceable calibration refers to the process of verifying and adjusting the accuracy of a measuring instrument or device using a known reference standard that is directly traceable to a national or international measurement standard. The purpose of traceable calibration is to ensure that the instrument’s measurements are reliable and consistent,…

By John Shelton, Technical Director and Chair of IOA M&I Committee Sometimes it’s difficult to keep up with the innovations in noise and vibration technology, and over the past 50 years or so, we have moved from van-sized analogue analysers to hand-held multi-function digital devices. A large part of these…

Traceable calibration and UKAS calibration both aim to establish the accuracy and reliability of measuring instruments, but there are some key differences between the two. Here are some benefits of traceable calibration over UKAS calibration: Cost Traceable calibration is generally more cost-effective compared to UKAS calibration. UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation…
