Calibration Procedures for a Digital Secure Seal Tester

Calibration Procedures for a Digital Secure Seal Tester

23-Dec-2024

Seals are a critical part of product safety and quality in industries such as beverages, pharmaceuticals, and packaging. The Digital Secure Seal Tester is a vital instrument in the verification of seals under pressure strength and reliability. The efficacy of the tool largely depends on proper calibration. Regular calibration means the test results are accurate and reliable enough to prevent any possibilities of non-compliance, product failures, or safety compromise. Without calibration, the organizations will face inaccuracies that can lead to rejected batches, safety concerns, or damaged reputations.

What is Calibration?

The process of comparing the output of the device to a certified reference standard for determining its accuracy is known as the calibration process. This would ensure the instrument gives a reliable and repeatable outcome to suit the standards required in industries.

Why Calibration is Important?

  • Reliability: Test results do not vary with time.
  • Compliance: In keeping with standards such as ASTM and ISO
  • Accuracy: This is in respect of no false positives or false negatives when it comes to seal integrity tests, and it therefore helps prevent error.
  • Saves Efficiency: It avoids expensive over-production or product recall based on undetected defective seals.

Step-by-Step Calibration Procedure

Step 1: Prepare the Tester

Switch off the tester and clean all parts to remove contaminants.

Check for apparent damage, wear, or loose connections.

Verify that the device is plugged into a stable power source and all accessories are in place.

Step 2: Access Calibration Mode

Go to the tester's settings via its digital interface.

Use on-screen instructions to get into calibration mode.

Step 3: Apply a Standard Reference

Utilize a standard pressure or force device certified to apply a known reference value.

Verify that the applied force is within the range of measurement of the tester.

Step 4: Compare Readings

Compare the reading displayed by the tester with the reference standard.

Record deviations or discrepancies in measurements.

Step 5: Calibration Settings

Adjust the calibration settings so that the tester's output is brought to align with the reference standard.

The process is repeated until the differences are removed.

Step 6: Validate Calibration

Test the calibrated device using samples with known parameters.

Verify the tester's accuracy and reliability by performing several runs.

Step 7: Document Results

Record calibration data, which include reference values, adjustments, and dates.

Keep a detailed log for audits and future references.

FAQs

1. How often should you calibrate your Digital Secure Seal Tester?

Calibration should be done at least every six months or as per your operational requirements and industry standards.

2. How to calibrate this instrument?

While some of the simple adjustments can be done internally, professional calibration by certified technicians ensures accuracy.

3. What is the implication if calibration is omitted?

Skipping calibration can lead to inaccurate results, compromise the quality and safety of the product, and risk noncompliance with standards.
