what length of calibration cycle will an iso auditor accept, or is it less hassle and cost effective to just buy new ones each year

I understand Jim's query to mean WHICH type of thickness gage is used. I'm aware of several types of fixed dimension go/no go gages plus a few spring loaded ones for measuring go/no go attribute plus, of course, instruments ranging from hand held verniers and micrometers up to air and laser gages which measure thickness characteristics at discretion and accuracy of up to 50 millionths of an inch.Welcome to the Cove.
What is an iron and steel plate gage?
Wow! What a great addition to the discussion. It is absolutely true that junk is being sold - we go back to the old saw about "penny wise and pound foolish." I've seen R & R on new stuff that didn't measure close to the same on five trials and some micrometers fresh out of the box that were better suited to use as nutcrackers than measuring instruments because their mechanisms were so "clunky."In addition to what Wes said, don't think that just buying new micrometers guarantees accurate measurement. There is a lot of junk on the market today. I do a complete Gage R&R when new Mics and Calipers are purchased. Many of them never make it to the work floor.
No. There's no telling exactly what the OP is referring to. Does "gage," for example, refer to a device or to material thickness? We need more info from the OP.I understand Jim's query to mean WHICH type of thickness gage is used.

i'm refering to starrett No. 281 & No.283 machine operators carry with them to pull stock &drop off from the steel bay. a final check is done with a mic. or calipers at there machine to verify. to many tools get damaged out there.
