Calibration of tapered thread gauges
Laura Knörzer | Know-howBasically, with length measuring instruments, there is a difference in measuring test equipment and gauges. Among gauges, tapered thread gauges can be seen as a specialcase. A tapered thread gauge is a three-stage ring. For example, WIKA uses these for checking the …
Accurate down to the last µ – calibration of length measuring instruments
Laura Knörzer | Know-howLength measuring instruments, as test instruments, fall under the risk determination of ISO 9001. As a result of increasing safety requirements, the importance of calibration in connection with this is greater. In the past, a good-bad test was often sufficient - as it …
Thermometer calibration – an overview
Danica Schwarzkopf | Know-howNot all calibrations are the same. This is illustrated by the example of “Thermometer calibration” - which test method is used depends on various factors such as process conditions, quality standards and safety requirements. Depending on the method, the calibration …
