Calibration is defined as a test during which known values of measure and are applied to the transducer, and corresponding output readings are recorded under specified conditions. The responsibility of the instrument technician is to follow the proper calibration procedures to accurately calibrate the instrument.
This Mechanical Instrument Calibration e-learning course has been designed to introduce participants to the basic principles of calibration of mechanical instruments such as Vacuum Gauge, Pressure Gauge, Weighing Balance, Weight, Tachometer, etc.
Features of Instrument Calibration Training
TOPICS COVERED
The Mechanical Instrument – Certified Calibration Laboratory Engineer online training comprises four sections:
Lectures
There are a total of seven lecture sessions in this course. The lectures are provided as a PowerPoint presentation with explanatory audio to understand the subject.
- Session 1 : What is calibration?
- Session 2 : Uncertainty of Measurement.
- Session 3 : Calibration Method and Records for Vacuum Gauge.
- Session 4 : Calibration Method and Records for Pressure Gauge.

STUDY MATERIALS
This e-Learning course is provided with study materials that you can read after you log in or download (PDF format). Use the study materials to reinforce key points and to keep a reminder of what you have already learned, and you can save them to your computer for future reference. Access to this study material is removed after the exam is cleared and the online certificate is prepared for the student.
EXAMINATION AND COURSE CERTIFICATE
All paid E-learning courses include the Course Certificate that is issued upon course completion and passing the session exams as well as the final exam given in the course with a minimum of 60% marks. The option to reappear in the exam is also given to the student if they fail in any exam.
END OF COURSE INSTRUCTION
After completing the session and passing each session examination, the student can appear for the final exam. Once the final exam is cleared, then the course is considered complete. The training certificate is available on our LMS, and students can print it or save the training certificate. It is also available for verification by entering the name and certificate number.
