Why is welding calibration important?

To ensure that your welding machine is operating at the appropriate levels, it is important that your equipment is calibrated. If you are performing welding tasks on welding machines which have not been calibrated, it could create an environment where welder errors are possible, which may lead to costly rework. Having your welding equipment calibrated prior to beginning any new welding procedures, will also ensure the procedures written are carried out in a controlled environment. This guarantees that the welding procedures performed on your welding equipment are accurate. Welding experts recommend that your welding equipment is calibrated annually and that any calibration procedures that are performed, should be written in to ISO specifications.

Calibration of your welding equipment can be built in to coincide with a regular maintenance schedule of your welding equipment. A preventative maintenance programme also helps to meet the needs required to satisfy BS EN 1090 CE marking requirements. This is mostly in place within the structural steel sectors. Each piece of equipment is issued with a service certificate, cataloguing every part of the equipment subjected to inspection. Regular servicing and the general upkeep of your welding equipment can also go a long way to increasing the equipment’s reliability. Whilst at the same time eliminating costly repairs and down time of your equipment.
