Calibration frequency depends on process criticality and instrument stability. SmartLine's 0.01% URL/year stability over 15 years extends intervals compared to legacy instruments.1 Consider these factors as you plan your application:
Process tolerance and product quality specifications
Historical drift patterns from your installed base
Regulatory compliance mandates
Instrument stability specifications
Most operators calibrate critical loops annually and non-critical loops every 2-3 years. Our field instruments’ stability lets some extend to 3-5 years for non-critical applications. On-board diagnostics can also flag drift before quality suffers, enabling condition-based calibration.
