Improving My Inspection Skills

Improving My Inspection Skills

Improving My Inspection Skills

(OP)
Hello all,
I had been worked as a Relief Valves Coordinator for 7 years, and I now I will work as a mechanical inspector.
Do you have any advice in improving my mechanical inspection skills; organizing methods, writing effective reports, make effective surveys, .etc.
I meant what should I do? Are there any guidelines for me as a mechanical Insp.?
Please advice.

Thanks.

I would get to know ASME Y14.5M and how to setup inspection of parts IAW to this specification.

RE: Improving My Inspection Skills

Know the different types of measuring devices, their strengths and weaknesses for each.  Learn how and why to apply each to different measuring situations.
Study the concept of measuring precision.
Gain an understanding of very tiny measurments (micron-level).
Learn such manufacturing issues as surface finish, burr conditions, etc. that affect measurments.
Learn geometrical measuring concepts:  planes, lines, surfaces, arcs, datums, lengths, flatness, curvature, roundness, parallelism.
Learn what tolerances are, what different types there are, and what they mean.
Study a little manufacturing statistics so that you recognize the terminology.
Learn to prioritize, write clearly, be organized, and be meticulous.
