International / Traceable Standards - Procedures for Calipers, Micrometers, Etc.

[ninovm]

Hello again guys,

i hope all is well. anyway, i just need to ask you guys if there are any available (free) traceable standard procedures for calipers, micrometers and the like. I know for pressure gauges it has EN 837-1. Thanks again!

First, a disclaimer. There is no such thing as a "traceable" procedure.
There are procedures put out by several organizations such as ANSI and ASTM, but they are copyrighted and they are not free.

Manufacturers often have procedures available for their products, and you can usually modify them in some way to make them "generic".

NPL has a Good Practice Guide for calipers and micrometers that includes sections on checking performance:

They have a large selection of guides, maybe you will find something in them that will meet your needs:

Euramet has some free calibration procedures available:

There are others out there. A Google search for "micrometer calibration procedure" finds many hits.

GIDEP has a bunch of free calibration procedures, but they are only available to U.S. or Canadian organizations that supply items or services (directly or indirectly) to the U.S. Government or to the Canadian Department of National Defence.
