Gage pin calibration

Gage pin calibration

Gage pin calibration

(OP)
I need to purchase a set of gage pin, and these are use for QC deppartment. Per say, all of the instrument need to be calibrated.

If I purchase a new gage pin, and it provide Certificate of Class/Conformance (compliance) or Certificate of accuracy, NIST Tracability, do I still need to request for calibration on this piece?
 

RE: Gage pin calibration

The answer to this question will be found in your QA manual.  Since we do not have your QA manual, we cannot answer it for you.

RE: Gage pin calibration

In our organization, you would be ok for a year and then it need calibration, FWIW.

RE: Gage pin calibration

No cal required initially - you have that document in your hands.  If you cal them yourself, your cert will read the same as what you already have; "within tolerance, and NIST traceable".
