Calibration and Control - Need help with plug, ring, and thread plug gages

GAGEpack is the way to go. It isn't perfect but it's good enough.

How many people at the facility?

Roughly how many controlled gages are we talking about?

To do plain plug and ring gages you need measuring equipment that exceeds the accuracy of the working gages.This usually means you need a Universal Measuring Machine. I strongly recommend against calibrating them with calipers or micrometers no matter what accuracy these may claim. For calibrating plain plug gages look at ANSI/ASME B89.1.5. For plain internal diameters check out ANSI/ASME B89.1.6M.

Measuring thread gages is a whole other field unto itself. Take a look at ANSI/ASME B1.2, especially Appendix A to see what you have to do.

Given the right equipment you should have a written procedure for each type calibration, and then keep appropriate calibration records. While you don't need to meet the requirements that accredited labs must meet a good reference for what you should do to calibrate gages in-house is ISO/IEC 17025.

Having a gage control database is the easiest part of controlling gages. Having a procedure for moving gages throughout your shop is a next step, but the hardest part is establishing the reporting discipline.

I hope this helps, all the best.
