For many modern devices calibration will be stating some value to be used in processing an electronic signal to convert it to a temperature.

For more expensive equipment, manufacturers and third parties provide calibration services so that older equipment may be recalibrated and recertified.

For Calvet-type calorimeters, a specific calibration, so called Joule effect or electrical calibration, has been developed to overcome all the problems encountered by a calibration done with standard materials.

For example, a calibration laboratory owned by a successful maker of microphones would have to be proficient in electronic distortion and sound pressure measurement.

For them, the calibration of a new frequency spectrum analyzer is a routine matter with extensive precedent.

For example, a thermometer could be calibrated so the error of indication or the correction is determined, and adjusted ( e. g. via calibration constants ) so that it shows the true temperature in Celsius at specific points on the scale.

For the vast majority of calibrations, the calibration process is actually the comparison of an unknown to a known and recording the results.

For accurate results, the instrument's response to the analyte in the unknown should be compared with the response to a standard ; this is very similar to the use of calibration curves.

For normal use calibration should be performed at the beginning of each day.

For more precise measurements, a three buffer solution calibration is preferred.

For HST, a calibration plan for the observatory is developed each year.

For example near-infrared spectra, which are extremely broad and non-selective compared to other analytical techniques ( such as infrared or Raman spectra ), can often be used successfully in conjunction with carefully developed multivariate calibration methods to predict concentrations of analytes in very complex matrices.

For example, a calibration curve can be made for a particular pressure transducer to determine applied pressure from transducer output ( a voltage ).

For the purposes of testing and calibration of anti-tank guns, the term RHAe ( Rolled Homogeneous Armour equivalency ) is used when giving an estimate of either the penetrative capability of a projectile or the protective capability of a type of armour which may or may not be steel.

For example, model calibration can be also used to refer to Bayesian inference about the value of a model's parameters, given some data set, or more generally to any type of fitting of a statistical model.

For example, a clinical carbon dioxide analyzer requires reference techniques and calibration routines to be able to get accurate CO < sub > 2 </ sub > content change.

For this reason McLeod gauges continue to be used as a calibration standard for electronic gauges.

For this technique to work, the two images must first be aligned so that corresponding points coincide, and their photometric values must be made compatible, either by careful calibration, or by post-processing ( using color mapping ).

For purposes of this explanation, this percentage is referred to as the State's `` unadjusted Federal share ''.

For purposes of sample selection only ( individual tests were given later ) we obtained group test scores of reading achievement and intelligence from school records of the entire third-grade population in each school system.

For expository purposes, this is best treated as a model which spells out the conditions under which an important industry affected with the public interest would find it profitable to raise wages even in the absence of union pressures for higher wages.

For the purposes of setting the product price, the industry behaves as a single entity.

For the purposes of this discussion, the problem of relative prices is encompassed in these two variables, since GNP includes other prices.

For our present purposes we assume that the sole subject of bargaining is the basic wage rate ( not including productivity improvement factors or cost-of-living adjustments ), and it is this basic wage rate which determines the level of costs.

'' For present purposes it may be assumed that this charge so narrowly limited speech as to violate the federal Constitution.

For all practical purposes, the West stands disunited, undedicated, and unprepared for the tasks of world leadership.

For their purposes, oxygen and other gases were not drawn from the surrounding atmosphere through the medium of lungs but sustained artificially by solution in their shells.

For the purposes of the treaty system, Antarctica is defined as all of the land and ice shelves south of 60 ° S latitude.

For geopolitical purposes, the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt – east of the Suez Canal – is often considered part of Africa.

For socket numbers, a few well-known numbers were reserved for special purposes specific to the AppleTalk protocol itself.

For example, letters 1, 5, and 8 contain a discussion on the question, whether the use of a piece of metal with the figure of a lion, as a talisman, is permitted by Jewish law for medicinal purposes, or is prohibited as idolatrous.

For administrative purposes the archipelago constitutes the comune of Favignana in the Province of Trapani.

For comparison purposes that is approximately the same size as Aylesbury, Carlisle, Guildford or Scunthorpe urban areas.

For commercial purposes, it is derived primarily from Gelidium amansii.

For statistical purposes, Baker is grouped with the United States Minor Outlying Islands.

For purposes of scoring and reference, each player is identified by one of the points of the compass and thus North and South play against East and West.

For calendric purposes, Bede made a new calculation of the age of the world since the creation, which he dated as 3952 BC.

For scoring purposes, a standing eight count is treated as a knockdown.

For all practical purposes that was the Baltic language until 1919.

For most purposes, most jurisdictions, including the U. S. federal system and most states, have merged the two courts.

For purposes of international communication and trade, the official names of the chemical elements both ancient and more recently recognized are decided by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry ( IUPAC ), which has decided on a sort of international English language, drawing on traditional English names even when an element's chemical symbol is based on a Latin or other traditional word, for example adopting " gold " rather than " aurum " as the name for the 79th element ( Au ).

For international banks, including the 55 member central banks of the Bank for International Settlements, the threshold is 8 % ( see the Basel Capital Accords ) of risk-adjusted assets, whereby certain assets ( such as government bonds ) are considered to have lower risk and are either partially or fully excluded from total assets for the purposes of calculating capital adequacy.

For enumeration purposes the country is demarcated into 4, 042 enumeration areas.
