-Test and Calibration Method Procedure.
The purpose of this procedure is to ensure that the correct test and calibration
methods are chosen to meet customer requirements; that those methods are
appropriate and the organization meets all of the requirements of ISO/IEC
17025:2017; and to ensure that when required, that verification and validation
are applied to tests and calibrations.
The Quality Manual, based on ISO 17025, is used to document the Lab
Quality Management System of an organization. In addition to describing the
organization’s structure, the manual states the general requirements of
impartiality and confidentiality and other specific requirements for structure,
resource, process and management.
CALIBRATION OF PRESSURE GAUGES, INSTRUMENTS
Inspection / calibration of pressure gauges is carried out with the equipment
developed and manufactured in L-plan.
Calibration methods and equipment satisfy the following requirements:
1. EA-10/17 EA Guidelines on the calibration of electromechanical
manometers, July 2002
2. DKD-R 6-1 Calibration of Pressure Gauges, 01/2003.
3. ISO / IEC 17025: 2005-General Requirements for the Competence of
Testing and Calibration Laboratories
4. Pressure gauges – Part 1: Bourdon tube pressure gauges –
Dimensions, metrology, Requirements and Testing
5. Pressure gauges – Part 3: Diaphragm and capsule pressure gauges –
Dimensions, metrology, Requirements and Testing.
Standard Thickness Gage Calibration
Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to provide general instructions for the calibration of
standard thickness gages.
Scope
This general procedure shall be used in the absence of any specific calibration
procedure for standard thickness gages.
To eliminate or minimize the effects of certain error sources, coating thickness
meters may need to be calibrated for proper measurement.
As accuracy of an ultrasonic thickness gauge is highly related to the material to be
measured and the speed of sound in this material, the calibration report must
include the information regarding the reference material and the speed of sound
applied.
