With regard to starting a calibration lab... I now know that my internal calibration procedures are most likely going to be acceptable, but, to be sure I will consider joining GIDEP for existing calibration procedures.
I am reviewing other calibration labs calibration certificates. On some of them I see they reference a specification b89.1. Specifically for a dial indicator, I see a specification reference of B89.1 1.10 - 1978. Should I also use this or a similar specification? What is in this specification that I should know about? Does anyone have a copy of this solely for private review? Do all calibration labs use such a document to perform calibrations? Does this document indicate acceptability of deviation? To this point I am performing calibrations of all dimensional hand tools with gauge blocks and a transfer stand? Would this spec. tell me my methods are inadquate as I cannot really calculate an error deviation of less than one increment? Thanks again folks, these forums are really helping..
