Calibration vs. Adjustment vs. Repair: What’s the Difference?
Repair addresses a problem with the instrument itself rather than measurement accuracy alone.
An instrument may require repair if it has damaged components, isn’t functioning correctly, won’t power on, or cannot be brought within specification through adjustment.
Depending on the equipment, repair may need to take place before an accurate calibration can be completed.

Does Calibration Include Adjustment or Repair?
Not necessarily. Calibration, adjustment, and repair are separate processes, although an instrument may require more than one.
For example, calibration could reveal that an instrument is out of tolerance. Further evaluation can then determine whether adjustment is enough to correct the issue or whether a repair is necessary.

Knowing What Your Equipment Needs
You don’t always need to diagnose the problem before sending an instrument for service. What matters is recognizing when something isn’t performing as expected or when scheduled calibration is due.

Kingsway Instruments provides professional calibration services and can help customers better understand the condition and performance of their test equipment.
Whether your instrument needs its accuracy verified or requires further attention, having the right information helps you make a more informed decision about what comes next.
