Does Anyone Have any Basic Calibration Training Materials?

Hi all,

I have looked through the prior calibration links, but I couldn't find anywhere where anyone had posted any kind of basic calibration training materials.

Consequently, I was wondering if anyone had any general calibration training in the line of TS/ISO, to present to the average person to say "this is what calibration is," "why calibration is important to our company," etc.

Nothing too technical, just the basic conceptual information.

If anyone could help me with this, I would appreciate it greatly.

:thanx:

That's kind of a tough one. It's pretty difficult finding good calibration training in general (the more technical kind). My guess based on my experiences would be that most places put such things together themselves.

This doesn't help with the training but it does speak to what calibration is all about. I think I originally saw it in PMEL (military calibration training) at Lowry AFB in ’82 and I was surprised when it was pointed out on another discussion board. It is kind of corny but it makes the point.

How basic and what is being calibrated?

Basics are to have an instrument of sufficient range with a mid-point near nominal conditions.

You use an external device of a known standard to determine existing conditions, adjust the mid-point control settings to represent actual conditions then reset to desired outputs. Then you adjust dead band to prevent hunting but give tight enough tolerances.

That's basics of what I recall from my instrumentation courses 25 years ago.

Thank you everyone for your help.

Todd H.: I'm talking even more basic than that; I'm not talking HOW calibration is performed, I'm talking WHY calibration is performed....

There are places like Quametec and Woekplace Training that have some basic through more advanced training available. Also, several community colleges have introductory level metrology training. There is also a company based in CA that has a campus in Vegas called TTI.

I am also pleasantly suprised to see that someone finally put "Why calibrate" on youtube. Now, if "Trial by Fire" is also there...
