Equipment Calibrations & Maintenance

WEB-EX INTERNET TRAINING AGENDA

Who should participate: This one-hour course is directed toward water and wastewater superintendents, laboratory managers and analysts, quality control officers, and operators who perform laboratory or field measurements. The course is particularly beneficial to those who calibrate and maintain laboratory equipment.

Learning objectives: Attendees will learn the fundamentals of calibration and maintenance. Upon completion you will be able to establish calibration curve guidelines, as well as establish calibration curve verifications. Additionally, you will learn how to train personnel on equipment calibration and maintenance procedures.

Course Description: Attendees will learn the basics of equipment calibration and maintenance, including instrument calibration, frequency of the calibration and establishing the calibration curve. You will also have a basic understanding of the calibration curve verifications, including ICVs and CCVs. Additionally, you will learn about preventative maintenance activities and requirements of documentation.
