This ISA webinar on industrial calibration was presented by Hunter Vegas, ISA author and engineering manager at Wunderlich-Malec Engineering, and Ned Espy and Roy Tomalino of Beamex.
This is the first webinar in a two-part series on field calibration. To watch the second webinar, click this link.
Field process calibration isn’t just about getting the job done, it’s about getting the job done right. It’s cliché, but true. Instrument calibration requires the proper process, tools and parameters for each instrument application to ensure valid results. If one of the three are lacking, your results could have little validity. In this recorded ISA webinar, experts expose the most easy-to-make mistakes and how to avoid them, so you can be confident in your calibration results.
