Calibration Services

Calibration of Sound Level Meters

Calibration of Sound Level Meters The SVANTEK calibration laboratory performs calibration of sound level meters from Norsonic, NTI Audio, Bruel & Kjaer. Why calibrate sound level meters? Calibration of sound level meters is essential for all accredited laboratories to ensure measurement traceability to national or international standards. Regulatory frameworks governing environmental noise assessments and occupational […]

Calibration of Measurement Microphones

Calibration of Measurement Microphones Calibration of Measurement Microphones for two frequencies – 250 Hz and 1000 Hz Why calibrate measurement microphones? The measurement microphone is part of the measurement path if you use it in a set with a sound level meter. In such a situation, there is no need to calibrate the microphones themselves. […]

Calibration of machine vibration meters

Calibration of machine vibration meters Calibration of machine vibration meters is necessary for accredited measurements to maintain measurement consistency. Why calibrate machine vibration meters? Machinery vibration meters are mainly used for vibration testing in industrial settings. These meters do not need to be as precisely controlled as meters for vibrations affecting humans. Such meters can […]

Calibration of mechanical vibration calibrators

Calibration of Mechanical Vibration Calibrators Calibration of mechanical vibration calibrators is performed for the purpose of knowing the exact value of acceleration, frequency and total distortion values, along with the corresponding uncertainties. Why calibrate mechanical vibration calibrators? Calibration of mechanical vibration calibrators is performed for the purpose of knowing the exact value of acceleration, frequency […]

Calibration of Filters

Calibration of Filters Calibration of Octave and Tertian Filters in accordance with IEC 61260 Why calibrate acoustic filters? The main reason for calibration of bandpass filters in meters is the need to maintain measurement consistency with the unit’s main standard. If an accredited testing laboratory performs measurements using filters in a meter it is required […]

Calibration of human vibration meters

Calibration of Human Vibration Meters Calibration of human vibration meters for hand-arm and whole-body vibration measurements. Why calibrate human vibration transducers? Human-exposure vibration is classified into two categories: whole-body vibration and hand-arm vibration. Vibration meters used for such measurements typically include two triaxial accelerometers. One is designed specifically for hand-arm measurements and is shaped to […]

Calibration of Acoustic Calibrators

Calibration of Acoustic Calibrators Calibration of acoustic calibrators allows for determining the exact parameters of the calibrator Why calibrate acoustic calibrators? Regulations related to noise and vibration measurements require testing laboratories to perform measurements using instruments calibrated no more than 5 years earlier (in Poland). Acoustic calibrators are required to calibrate the measurement chain of […]

Calibration of mechanical vibration transducers

Calibration of Mechanical Vibration Transducers The calibration of mechanical vibration transducers determines the sensitivity of the transducer along with its measurement uncertainty, based on establishing metrological traceability to a primary measurement standard. Why calibrate mechanical vibration transducers? As with other calibrations, vibration transducers are calibrated to maintain metrological traceability, which is a strict requirement for […]

Calibration of Noise Dosimeters

Calibration of Noise Dosimeters Calibration of personal sound exposure meters in accordance with PN-EN 61252 Why calibrate personal sound exposure meters? Personal sound exposure meters, commonly known as noise dosimeters, require calibration—like other measuring equipment—to ensure metrological traceability for accredited measurements. Acoustic dosimeters are most frequently used in workplaces where employees are exposed to excessive […]
