(n.) The process of estimating the caliber a tube, as of a thermometer tube, in order to graduate it to a scale of degrees; also, more generally, the determination of the true value of the spaces in any graduated instrument.
Example Sentences:

(2) Electromagnetic flow probes with an inner diameter of 2, 1.5 and 1 nm were used for studies on zero-line drifting and for calibration procedures in a series of rats and rabbits.
(3) Thus, the carotid pulse tracing provides an accurate reproduction of the morphology of the pressure tracing recorded from the ascending aorta, and when calibrated by peripheral blood pressure measurement, it can be used to calculate LV pressure throughout ejection.
(4) Statistical diagnostic tests are used for the final evaluation of the method acceptability, specifically in deciding whether or not the systematic error indicated requires a root source search for its removal or is simply a calibration constant of the method.
(5) The reference material, which must behave immunochemically the same as the patient's sample in all methods, is then used to assign a target value to the calibrator in each method and system.
(6) We conclude that the use of the multi-point calibration procedure presented in this article (based on calibration according to the instructions of the manufacturer and NCCLS EP-9P) greatly improves the intra-laboratory comparability and therefore should be part of multi-centre evaluations.
(7) Standard additions are unnecessary; Pt concentrations are read from a calibration chart of peak heights, which is linear up to 1.6 mg per liter.
(8) different plasmas representing seven levels of anticoagulation between international calibrated ratios (ICRs) from 1.5 to 4.5.
(9) The effect of nicotine on the nervous system during rapid smoking of two calibrated cigarettes was measured in twenty subjects: light, medium, heavy and non-smokers, across the changes of a number of electrophysiological variables and in different situations.
(10) The system established for control indicates the performance characteristics of each batch of thromboplastin in patients relative to a national calibration batch.
(11) Calibration is performed in the presence of the color additive by using the external standard method.
(12) Very good stability of the calibration curves (up to 2 months).
(13) Tone pulses and noise stimuli were mixed acoustically and presented using calibrated, sealed stimulating systems.
(14) Because flow and velocity are related, it is possible to estimate flow from velocity measurements with careful calibration and proper precautions.
(15) Calibrators and samples were prepared by mixing 200 microL of whole blood and 200 microL precipitation reagent and centrifuging at 10,000 rpm for 5 min (9600 x g).
(16) The calibration curve is expressed as a ratio of the activity bound to a different concentration of hormone and is described by a linear function with a correlation coefficient higher than 0.995.
(17) They also exhibited variations in calibre and sudden obstructions.
(18) The calibrated aperture in the bottom of each well is small enough to retain fluid contents by surface tension during monolayer growth, but also permits fluid to enter the wells when transfer plates are lowered into receptacles containing washing buffer or test sera.

Calibre
Definition:
(n.) The diameter of the bore, as a cannon or other firearm, or of any tube; or the weight or size of the projectile which a firearm will carry; as, an 8 inch gun, a 12-pounder, a 44 caliber.
(n.) The diameter of round or cylindrical body, as of a bullet or column.
(n.) Fig.: Capacity or compass of mind.
