What is instrument failure?

Instrument failure refers to the malfunction or breakdown of a measuring or control device, which can lead to inaccurate readings or inability to perform its intended function. This can occur due to various reasons, including wear and tear, environmental factors, or improper calibration. In critical fields such as aviation, medicine, and manufacturing, instrument failure can have serious consequences, impacting safety and operational efficiency. Regular maintenance and calibration are essential to minimize the risk of instrument failure.
