Hello Technetters, we are presently reviewing our internal procedure for the solder iron calibration. One step of that procedure consists to validate the solder iron tips by measuring the temperature of the tip using a thermometer ( like the Hakko 191). The procedure asks to do the calibration  each week or on each tip substitution for all solder irons.

 

I'm not sure where these requirements came, but I would like to know if you think it is necessary to calibrate the solder iron tips (I'm not talking about the calibration of the iron itself) . If yes, what would be the the calibration frequency recommended?
