10. ime There is no primary standard for air flow rate since the measurement is dependent on all three primary standards of mass length and time Hence all air flow calibrators are secondary standards in the strictest sense of the definition In the industrial hygiene arena the terms primary and secondary have become generally accepted terms over time and should not be confused with actual primary and secondary standards as prescribed by the National Institute of Science and Technology NIST Some manufacturers of calibrators by their own definition refer to their products as primary standards referring to the manner they are applied and generally accepted for use in the industry Other manufacturers adequately refer to their instruments as calibrators There are no industry standards established for such designations based on the measurement technology being employed What is important is accuracy repeatability and regular documented verification to a higher accepted standard such as NIST Both primary and secondary calibrators must be verified on a regular basis and that testing recorded Some guidelines recommend annual calibration to a higher accepted standard while others suggest as frequently as every 30 days or before a significant survey It is important to have a certificate of traceability to NIST or other industry recognized testing organization indicating that an instrument has been calibrated against some
