I thought the discussion was about rigid metal gages like plug gages, thread gages, ring gages, etc. I wouldn't think you'd use a plastic dip for micrometers, calipers, multimeters, or sphygmomanometers...

It was either that or thermohygrometer. What can I say, my wife's a nurse... :lol:

Re: Calibration experience - Plastic dip for low-use gages

I apologize if I got things off track...I was just envisioning someone dipping something in Plastidip that wasn't at all suitable, based on a misunderstanding.

I think it is worth being clear that the suggested approach, whichever coating material one chooses to use, should be limited to metals.

A picture is worth a thousand words - but only if others can see it. If only the picture in my mind's eye could be as easily transferred as text.:biglaugh:

Re: Calibration experience - Plastic dip for low-use gages

Our calibration software has a check in - check out feature. If the gage is not in use (locked up in a cabinet), it stops the calibration tracking.

Very simple and could be done in a spreadsheet I would imagine.

We also used to use wax on our plug gages, and I kind of thought it smelled nice.

Not affiliated with this company... only as a user of their products...

dipseal dot com (can't post links yet)

we use DS-300G

this is a 'hot' melting product approximately 350°F.
The coating has a protective oil in suspension. It does protect from damage (depending on applied thickness) and corrosion .

another source is

The use of dipseal on gauges is very effective. We use this on primarily thread gauges, but have found use for other gauges. (i.e. OD micrometers, calipers) We currently have around 6,000 gauges we are calibrating at least once a year. The dip-seal has saved us time and money. After a calibration, most gauges are dipped (calibration-preserved). When the gauges time interval is due, if the integrity of the dip seal is intact, a note is made in the calibration that the results are "same as last calibration". Using the DS-300B type wax from dipseal dot com. We purchased a tank as well from them. We have been using this method for 1+ year and have not experienced any odor, or fires. The tank is used just outside the calibration lab in a well ventilated area as the supplier recommends.
