FAQ #5
Q. If everything is working fine, why should I recertify my instrument annually?
A. Your KIN-TEK instrument has internal components that are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology and may require adjustment or calibration. All components may appear to be working properly; however each year they should be calibrated and recertified to maintain accuracy and traceability.
Your KIN-TEK gas standards generator is a precision calibration instrument that is used for producing a known gas standard for calibration of a gas analyzer or sensor. If your instrument is out of calibration, you may be producing more error than you think, therefore producing false standards.
A KIN-TEK service representative will be happy to issue you a quote to perform the annual recertification at your facility, or you may request a RMA number to return the instrument to KIN-TEK for recertification in our lab.
