Our wire tolerance is +.060"/- .003". Unbelievable for reinforcement of concrete but it is engineered to withstand so much pressure and weight. If the wire is too big it can upset the engineered material if it is to be put together with other pieces of structure.
The thing is, if you go to the high side, you are giving away wire. The closer to the negative side the more money you make. We make and sell millions of tons of wire.

However, given your current situation and tolerances, it is obvious why you use micrometers. Now it is just a matter of taking a good look at the various pieces of information provided here and developing a sufficiently robust calibration procedure adequate to your needs.

I've been removed from the Continuous Improvement role that I had in the past. Our new owner does not want that position at each facility. I now have purchasing as my responsibility and safety coordinator under previous and new owner. As purchaser, I had to get someone to calibrate the scales, my past experience kept them from paying someone to calibrate 10 or 20 micrometers. I still want to be in lean and continuous improvement. Too bad no one will notice what I did to save them some bucks and help them with recording their calibrations.
