Traceability of Calibration factorTraceability of Calibration factor
Measurement Traceability refers to the chain of calibrations between an instrument used to make a reading in terms of some physical unit and the basic realization of that unit. On a national scale, the physical realization of a unit is known as a national measurement standard
