CALIBRATION

CALIBRATION

CALIBRATION

CALIBRATION
Is simply
the comparison of
instrument performance
to a standard of
known accuracy.

WHY CALIBRATE?
 As components age and equipment undergoes
changes in temperature or sustains mechanical
stress, the equipment’s performance gradually
degrades.
 This is called drift. When this happens, the test
results generated by the equipment become
unreliable and both design and production
quality suffer.
 While drift cannot be eliminated, it can be
detected and contained through the process of
calibration.

IS THE EQUIPMENT
ACCURATE OR NOT?
Accuracy is a number which indicates the

closeness of a measured value to the true
value.

BASIC CALIBRATION
PRINCIPLES
 Calibration is the comparison of
measurements made by a standard
instrument against a test instrument (T.I.)
◦ A standard instrument is used to calibrate an
equipment.
◦ It is sometimes called as calibrator or
reference or master.
◦ A test instrument (T.I.) is the instrument to be
calibrated.

BASIC CALIBRATION PRINCIPLES
 In calibration, the standard instrument must

be better than the T.I. in terms of accuracies
involved.
– Accuracy ratio is the ratio existing between the
accuracies of the standard and T.I.

ACCURACY RATIO
10:1 Maximum
4:1 Target Ratio/Ideal
2:1 Minimum

MEASUREMENT STANDARD –
What is it?
 A material, artifact, or instrument that stores,
embodies or otherwise provides a physical
quantity which serves as the basis for
measurements of the quantity.
 Has better accuracy than the instrument/
equipment being calibrated.
 Is traceable to a recognized national or
international standards laboratory.

BASIC CALIBRATION PRINCIPLES
 Calibration must have traceability
– The standard instrument must be traceable to

national or international standards organization.

TRACEABILITY
 Step-by-step comparison with better standards

up to an accepted or specified standard.
The quality of the known

must be superior to that of
the unknown

Procedure for the Verification, Inspection and

Sealing of Weighing Scales
Section 6 Test Weights

Test weights used for verification and
inspection should be calibrated yearly by the
Industrial Technology Development Institute
(DOST-ITDI).

Parallax Error – the error
due to line of sight
relative to the instrument
scale or the change in
the apparent relative

DOST-3 METROLOGY 34
“No measurement can be
guaranteed to be perfect.”
Uncertainty of Measurement
 An estimate of the possible error in a
measurement or an estimate of the range
of values which contains the true value of
a measured quantity.
 Uncertainty is usually reported in terms of
the probability that the true value lies
within a stated range of values.

Our knowledge of the
accuracy of the value
of the known quantity
must always be better than
the accuracy we wish to pass on
with the measured value
assigned to the known quantity.

Accuracy
is the agreement of the result of a measurement with
the true value of the measured quantity.
Precision
is the agreement of the results of identically
performed measurements.

UNIT MASS
 The unit of mass, the kilogram (kg),

remains the only base unit in the
International System of Units (Si)
which is still defined in terms of a
physical artifact.

UNIT MASS
 is defined as kilogram,
the unit of mass.
 is equal to the mass of
the “International
Prototype of the
Kilogram”.

“International Prototype of the Kilogram”
Is kept at BIPM, the International

Bureau of Weights and Measures in
Sevres, Paris.
It consists of an alloy of 90% platinum

and 10% iridium and was made in 1879
by George Matthey, in the form of
cylinder, 39 mm high and 39 mm in
diameter with the density of 21.5 g/cm3.

KILOGRAM
Was originally defined as the mass of

a cubic decimeter (dm3) of pure water
at a temperature of 4oC and at
standard atmospheric pressure.

Mass Unit Conversion:
1 kg = 2.205 lbs
1 ton = 1,000 kg
1 kg = 1,000 g
1g = 1,000 mg

PRIMARY STANDARD
A standard of a particular quantity, which
has the highest class of metrological
qualities in a given field.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD
A standard recognized by international
agreement as the basis for fixing the values
of all other standards of the given quantity.

NATIONAL STANDARDS
 A standard recognized by an official national
decision as the basis for fixing the value, in a
country, of all other standards of the quantity
concerned.
 The national standard in a country is often a
primary standard.
 In general, the national standard in a country
is also the primary standard to which other
standards are traceable.
SECONDARY STANDARD
A standard the value of which is determined
by direct or indirect comparison with a
primary standard.
REFERENCE STANDARD
A standard, generally of the highest
metrological quantity available at a given
location, from which measurements made at
that location are derived.

WORKING STANDARD
A standard which, usually calibrated against a
reference standard, is used routinely to
calibrate or check material measures or
measuring instruments.
TRANSFER STANDARD
A standard used as an intermediary to
compare standards, material measures or
measuring instruments.

Things to Consider in the Calibration of
Weighing Scales and Balances
1. Place the balance on top of a rigid table

where there is no vibration and air
movements (drafts).
2. For electronic balances, always power up
the unit for about 30 minutes stabilization
time.
3. Weigh on leveled plane. Level the balance.
4. Clean the pan of the scale or balance.

Things to Consider in the Calibration of
Weighing Scales and Balances
5. Tare (Zero) the scale or balance.

6. For electronic balance, wait for the busy
signal or annunciation to disappear before
reading the measurement.
7. Prior to normal calibration, check first if the
errors of the balance is within its accuracy. If
not, then perform the machine’s “self-
calibration” by following the machine’s
instruction manual (if applicable and
available).

 Section 12. CALIBRATION AND SEALING OF
DISPENSING PUMPS
All dispensing pumps used in Retail Outlets
must be properly calibrated once every sixty
(60) days and sealed by a duly authorized
calibrating entity immediately after
calibration. A dispensing pump that is not
calibrated and sealed or goes off-calibration
shall be clearly marked with an "out of order"
sign and shall not be used until the said
pump is recalibrated and resealed.

 For the purpose of these Retail Rules, the
authorized calibrating entities are the
Municipal or City Treasurer of an LGU or, in
their absence or incapacity, duly authorized
representatives of the DOST or, in their
absence or incapacity, duly authorized
representatives of any other government
agency authorized therefore or, in their
absence or incapacity, duly authorized
representatives of the oil company.

 In locations where the Municipal or City
Treasurer are capable of calibrating
dispensing pumps, the calibration by other
authorized entities shall be provisional only
and subject to final calibration by the
Treasurer.
 The authority performing the calibration shall
install a seal after calibration to guard
against the unauthorized adjustment of the
dispensing pump meter which seal may not
be broken or removed until the next
calibration by an authorized entity.
 All calibrations shall be duly documented
and signed by the mechanic performing the
calibration and countersigned by the Retail
Outlet owner and/or operator or the shift
supervisor of the Retail Outlet. A copy of
these calibration documents shall be kept on
file at the Retail Outlet

After calibration, a sticker provided by the
oil company having a dimension of at least
one-half (1/2) inch by two (2) inches and
bearing the date of the calibration and the
signature of the mechanic who calibrated
the pump shall be posted on the face of the
pump calibrated.

 For independently owned Retail Outlets or
Retail Outlets with its own Liquid Petroleum
Product brand name, the owner and/or
operator of the Retail Outlet shall be
responsible for complying with this Section
12.
 Failure of the Retail Outlet owner and/or

operator to have his/her dispensing pumps
calibrated and sealed shall constitute
ILLEGAL TRADING.

 Tank Trucks transporting Liquid Petroleum Products
shall have all valves, hatches and other openings
sealed shut by the Marketer before leaving the
source depot. Such seal may be removed, tampered
with or broken by the buyer or his representative,
or by the supplier, and only at their places of
business or location designated by the buyer.
A broken or tampered valve or hatch seal,
or the absence of one on a loaded
compartment, shall give rise to the
presumption that the Tank Truck is
UNDERDELIVERING or that the product
contained is adulterated and the shipment
may be refused by the buyer.

Section 14. CALIBRATION AND TESTING OF DISPENSING
PUMPS USING A PROPERLY SEALED
CALIBRATING BUCKET
 Owners and/or operators of Retail Outlet/s shall
maintain in their Retail Outlets a DOST calibrated and
sealed calibrating bucket available for use pursuant to
Section 12 hereof. The Retail Outlet’s calibrating
bucket/s must be recalibrated and resealed once every
twelve (12) months.
 All dispensing pump meters of Retail Outlets shall be
tested daily not later than 9:00 A.M. for accuracy in
delivering Liquid Petroleum Products using said
calibrating bucket.
 Any dispensing pump not delivering the correct
quantity shall be marked by the owner and/or
operator with an “out-of-order” sign and
padlocked and shall not be used until said pump
is recalibrated and resealed by the proper
authority.
 The calibrating bucket and a written record or
logbook of the daily testing thereof shall be
maintained at all times in the Retail Outlet
premises, and presented to OIMB inspectors and
to the public upon demand thereof.

 Failure to provide the written record or
logbook and the properly sealed calibrating
bucket shall give rise to the presumption
that the dispensing pump is
UNDERDELIVERING.

Section 16. UNDER DELIVERY IN DISPENSING PUMP
 the quantity of petroleum products delivered by

dispensing pumps at retail outlets as measured
by the dispensing pump meter shall not be less
than actual quantity by more than 50 ml for
every 10 Liters as measured by a bucket
certified by the DOST-ITDI.

 the calibrating bucket shall be filled to the 10-L
mark three times at low, medium, and fast
rates and the average quantity as measured by
the pump meter shall constitute the quantity
 To be compared with the actual quantity, 10-L

pump delivery less than the tolerable minimum
quantity shall be deemed to be underdelivery.

 The absence of an ‘’out-of- order" sign or
padlock locking the dispensing pump shall be
deemed an actual use of the pump for the
conduct of Retailing.
 A dispensing pump found with broken or no seal
shall constitute a prima facie evidence of
UNDERDELIVERING.
