| Tip of the
Month |
You certainly
wouldn't skip the annual calibration on your instrument, so why skip
the annual calibration on your measurement process? Participating in
inter-laboratory comparisons builds confidence and avoids costly
problems for you and can prevent embarrassing customer
recalls.

Pyroshock
Uncovered!!! |
|
 As the interest continues to grow in
precision MEMS accelerometers, so has the interest in various areas
of shock application. This month PCB's shock expert, Dr.
Patrick Walter, explains the mechanics and measurement of
pyroshock. Click the following link for a quick read on the
topic.

The Whys and
Hows of Proficiency Testing |
|
 The international standard, ISO/IEC 17025,
General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration
Laboratories, references proficiency testing in the context of
monitoring activities associated with testing and calibration. The standard dictates that
monitoring activities are conducted in such a manner as to provide
data so that trends can be detected and, where practical,
statistical techniques applied in the examining of this data. But what is proficiency
testing and what are its relevant properties? The NAPT (National
Association for Proficiency Testing) provides a detailed explanation
of the whys and hows of proficiency
testing...
