Good day all,
I have been trying to find more info on local tolerancing for measurement gauges despite them having OEM tolerances. Specifically, we have a weight scale for a non-critical check at a station for component weight. Tolerance is 4-8g and the gauge has a discrimination of .01g with an accuracy of .01g as well. The scale had a .02 deviation when performing gage calibration at high-end, and I would like to open the tolerance to .05g. This accuracy would still be able to divide the tolerance of the part into at least 10 divisions, is this the correct thought process for determining local tolerances for a gage?
