Measuring and control instruments are very important resources in any production process.\u00a0 During any process, there are many parameters and properties that need to be carried out with precision to guarantee that high quality standards are met.<\/p>\n

So, how to choose the best supplier<\/strong> for measuring and control instruments?<\/p>\n

5 aspects to consider when choosing your measuring and control instruments supplier<\/h2>\n

There are different aspects you should consider when selecting your measuring and control instruments provider. The most important ones are the following:<\/p>\n

1. Quality of the instruments<\/h3>\n

This may sound obvious, but the quality of the measuring and control instruments is of uttermost importance, since this will have a great impact on the results of\u00a0 all your Quality Control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA) activities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For example, S.A.M.A. Italia is a UNI EN ISO 9001 certified company.\u00a0 A certified supplier<\/strong> confirms that you are choosing a company with clear procedures, aimed at providing accurate services.<\/p>\n

S.A.M.A. Italia is a\u00a0supplier that operates worldwide<\/strong> and supplies companies with its own name-brand SAMA Tools<\/strong> instruments.\u00a0 Therefore, a reliable and experienced supplier from whom you can receive high quality tools.<\/p>\n

Moreover, all SAMA Tools instruments are manufactured to comply with the reference standards.<\/p>\n

2. Calibration<\/h3>\n

As defined by the experts at S.A.M.A. Italia, \u201ccalibration<\/a><\/span> means to identify metrological characteristics of a measuring instrument.\u00a0 It can be defined as a \u201cphotograph\u201d of the instrument in its current state. This is the result of a comparison with a reference sample and does not contemplate the adjustment of the instrument.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is an important aspect because one can purchase a \u201cquality\u201d instrument which is not calibrated, and therefore, may need adjusting. As a result, the instrument won’t work properly and it will most likely cause problems.<\/p>\n

To prevent this from happening, S.A.M.A. Italia offers calibration services<\/strong> and supplies Laboratory Test Reports <\/a><\/span><\/strong>in compliance with UNI CEI EN ISO\/IEC 17025 and ACCREDIA certificates<\/strong> on all their instruments, but also on equipment you may already own and of other brands.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How often should the measuring instruments be calibrated? We talked about it here.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Destructive or non-destructive testing instruments?<\/h3>\n

When we talk about measuring and control instruments, we generally mention two categories: destructive and non-destructive<\/strong> testing instruments.<\/p>\n

As the name implies, destructive testing requires altering or destroying the sample in order to identify its mechanical characteristics.<\/p>\n

If you want to carry out measurements and tests in your production process without damaging your sample, the best alternative is non-destructive testing<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, such as:<\/p>\n
