In the industry is very common the applying of resources and machines for implementation of the processes and creation of the products. For this reason, the measurement and control of such processes are essential to achieve better performance, efficiency, and consequently best quality, as well as, monitor the operation of the equipment, identify failures and ensure the security for the industry and the employees. The measure instruments are the set of tools used with the objective of obtaining data about the particular processes. In general, these devices measure features like pressure, temperature, velocity, humidity, vibration, and are widely applied in machines such as motors, heaters, reactors, refrigerators, air conditioners, compressors, ovens, and other equipment. It’s important to obtain the periodic calibration of these instruments so that the results obtained through them be reliable and accurate [1].
