ATA maintains the training and expertise to provide accredited¹ calibration services so you don't have to spend time coordinating it. For installed Ensure™ Systems, ATA Accurate™ calibration results in significantly less downtime, as sensors do not have to be removed and can be calibrated simultaneously with the system.
Compared to calibration labs
External calibration labs can ensure that your sensors are accurate only to their stimulus reference. Beyond the reading of the sensor, error is unaccounted for from data acquisition to the hardware and software surrounding the sensor. You could have every sensor in your test system calibrated, but still have error in your data output.
COMPARED TO CALIBRATING IN-HOUSE
Taking on calibration yourself may yield better results than outsourcing it. In theory, you should be able to achieve greater accuracy than simply calibrating the sensor(s) alone. However, the amount of resources and investment required to maintain in-house calibration capability are significant, especially for accredited¹ results.
Regional on-site calibration
ATA Accurate™ calibration is performed on-site to ensure best possible results. ATA schedules regular service intervals by region nationwide, so customers can choose to have their system calibrated when ATA is local for no additional travel or accommodations costs.

Calibration is a requirement for anyone hoping to produce accurate data from a measurement device. That said, calibrating the measurement devices (i.e. sensors) on a test bench alone is not enough. What will be far more effective in assuring the points mentioned above is a full system calibration. Here is why…
