The calibration process is one of the methods for decreasing the measurement apparatus uncertainties. In this study, the sensor calibration is performed using the values reproduced by standard setting devices. Generally, the calibration characteristics of measurement apparatus are taken in a polynomial form. In this study, a genetic algorithm (GA) is used for the measurement apparatus calibration purpose. As an example, GA-based calibration of a differential pressure gauge using standard pressure setting devices is examined. The calibration results, founded using the proposed GA, are compared with the results obtained via the classical least square method. As a result, the recommendations on how to get better calibration characteristics for the differential pressure gauge are given.
