Hello,
We use many different kind of gages at the company I work for, we are an IATF16949 Certified company. I am reaching out to help our Calibration Technician find some answers.
Are there any applicable ASTM, ASME, etc. standards that explain/show how to calibrate:
1.) Plug and thread gages with depth notches, mainly just for the depth notch measurement?
2.) What about square or flat sided plug gages to verify part feature/hole width or length?
3.) Air Gages using air probes or rings (or is this based off the master ring/plug gage certs)?
I have looked extensively and couldn't find anything.
For the Air Gages, we have a magnification kit that we use but there is no official instruction on how to use it. Does anyone know of where an instruction for air gage magnification kits can be found (the manufacturer doesn't even have them available)?
If I am interpreting the IATF16949 standard and Sanctioned Interpretations and FAQs correctly, if there is no standard available we need to create our own procedure. Is this assumption correct?
Any help/assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
TG
