Usually, when you measure something that requires calibration, that work is generally considered important either monetarily or socially. So, you want to make sure you are sure because things are riding on your measurements. The short answer is so you don't screw up :)
It is not necessary to calibrate the instrument every time before use, but checking the accuracy before use is important.
Fine measuring instruments like micrometers are sensitive to temperature and impact. These instruments are specifically designed to measure to 2nd or 3rd decimals and if one is dropped or accidentally bumped against a hard surface, it could lose its accuracy and has to be calibrated. Most companies that conform to quality standards have their instruments sent away and calibrated by reputable calibration companies every 6 months to once every year depending on their standard.
Sometimes an artisan might leave the cold instrument on top of his lathe. The lathe is usually hot and could affect the accuracy of the instrument by heating it up.
So, depending on the level of accuracy you are working at, constantly checking the instrument's accuracy ensures a precise and quality workpiece.

Do you need to calibrate a multimeter?

What do you need to calibrate a multimeter?
Technically, you don't. You need to calibrate a multimeter with something that is much more precise and accurate than a multimeter, such as a voltage, current, and resistance standard. Otherwise, it is not called a calibration.
How do you calibrate displacer type level transmitter?

What is THD in UPS and electrical engineering?
It is Total Harmonic Distortion, and has to do with how "clean" the output power is. For those of us in the lighting and electrical world, THD refers to the Harmonic Distortion present with most electrical equipment, and more specifically now, the distortion present with electronic ballasts. THD is the measurement of the distortion created from the equipment's current draw. True resistive loads, such as an incandescent light bulb, do not have THD. Equipment containing coils and capacitors, such as motors, drives, fluorescent lighting and HID lighting, have some measure of THD.

How do you calibrate each item of equipment and check that it is free from damage and defects?
To calibrate equipment, use a calibration standard to adjust the equipment to a known measurement. To check for damage and defects, visually inspect for cracks, dents, or wear, and test functionality. Follow manufacturer guidelines for calibration and maintenance to ensure accurate results and safe operation.
