4.1
 
In-house Calibration
 
4.1.1
General

 
Qualified personnel shall perform the calibration of gauges. Minimum Diploma in Mechanical enggwith six
months experience in the calibration area shall be considered as qualified or in supervision ofcalibration
in charge.

 
Temperature and humidity of calibration room will be maintained as belowTemp:
22±2°
and Humidity 50 ±10%.

 
Soaking of gauge shall be carried out at calibration room for about half an hour minimum.

 
Visual checking shall be carried out for all kind of damages or any markings over the gauge.

 
For all standard gauges, IS 3455 standard will be referred to decide the wear limits.

 
For all special gauges, respective gauge drawings will be referred to decide the wear limits.

 
For individual pin gauges ±0.005mm is acceptance criteria

 
For parallel blocks, IS : 2949 - 1992 standard will be referred to decide the wear limits

 
For Surface Granite Block , IS: 7327 - 1991 standard will be referred to decide the wear limits
4.1.2
Method of Calibration4.1.2.1
 
Plug Gauge, Pin Gauge and Width Gauge

 
Ensure only calibrated digimatic micrometer / 1-micron plunger dial is used.

 
Ensure that the above digimatic micrometer / micron plunger dial is used only for calibrationpurpose.

 
Clean the base of Dial stand

 
Select the suitable size of Slip gauge of “0 " Grade.
 

 
Ensure proper wringing of Slips (Use Minimum number of slips).

 
Set the slips with only 10-20 micron pressure on the plunger dial.

 
Measurement shall be taken at different places of gauge.

 
Record the observation in calibration report / History card.

 
Compare the measured values against the wear limits for deciding the status.
4.1.2.2
 
Snap gauges

 
Use VMS / Bore gauge for calibration.

 
Measurements must be taken at different places of gauge.

 
The actual size of a gap is defined as the perpendicular distance between the gauging surfaces.

 
Record the observation in calibration report / History card.

 
Compare the measured values against the wear limits for deciding the status
