Calibration Procedure.

This document outlines INPEC's calibration procedure. It describes the reference tools and equipment that will be internally or externally calibrated, including calibration frequencies. Internally calibrated working tools are to be checked against the reference tools per the frequencies in Table 2. Calibration reports will be issued for internally calibrated tools and include readings and accuracy. Densitometers require calibration every 90 days using a national standard step tablet. Records of calibrations must be maintained in logs.

1 Purpose.
1.1

1.2

This procedure establishes system for planning and


performing calibrations of measuring tools and equipment
either internally or externally calibrated according to National
and International standards and/or ASME requirements as
appropriate.
This procedure is to be read and implemented together with
Quality Control Manual Sec. (10).

2 Reference Tools and Equipment.

2.1

Reference equipment/tools that will be used for internal


calibration and other equipment/tools that shall be
calibrated externally in a Recognized Calibration
Society/Institute (RCS) against relevant national or
international standards are listed in table
No. (1).

2.2

In case of conflict between the tolerances specified in table


No. (1), and the standards used by (RCS), the most restricted
one shall prevail.

2.3

Reference equipment/tools calibration intervals shall follow


the frequencies specified in table no. (1) And should be
performed in case of damage or deterioration raised against
the required accuracy level.

2.4

Calibration certificate of reference equipment/tools shall be


issued by the (RCS) and shall be maintained by the Quality
Assurance Engineer and approved by the Quality Assurance
Manager (QAM), this certificate shall at least specifies the
following details:-

2.5

The calibration date.


The serial no. of the equipment/tool under calibration.
A complete description of the calibration equipment/tool used for
calibration (including related description, serial no., manufacturer,
and calibration due date).
Reference calibration standard.
Calibration readings.
The recorded accuracy of equipment/tool under calibration.

Calibrated Reference equipment/tools shall only be used for


internal calibration purposes (not as daily working tools) and

shall be kept by the Quality Assurance Manager (QAM) in


suitable containers to protect them from being damaged.
2.6

Calibrated Reference equipment/tools shall be listed in the


Equipment Calibration Log (Exhibit No.16)

3 Internally Calibrated Equipment / Tools.

3.1

The working measuring equipment/tools should be internally


calibrated according to table (2) of this procedure, using the
calibrated reference equipment/tools as described in 2.5
above. However, for any rezone QCM have the right to request
external calibration for these tools.

3.2

The working measuring equipment/tools calibration intervals


shall follow the frequencies specified in table no. (2) and
should be performed in case of damage or deterioration
raised against the required accuracy level.

3.3

Calibration report (Exhibit No.23) shall be issued by Quality


Assurance Engineer(QAE) and approved by the Quality
Assurance Manager(QAM) for the internally calibrated
equipment/tools, this certificate shall at least specifies the
following details;

3.4
3.5

The calibration date.


The serial no. of the equipment/tool under calibration.
A complete description of the calibration equipment/tool used for
calibration (including serial no., manufacturer, and accuracy)
Reference to this Calibration procedure.
Calibration readings.
The recorded accuracy of equipment/tool under calibration.

Internally calibrated equipment/tools shall be listed in the


Equipment Calibration Log (Exhibit No.16)
A calibration label (Exhibit No.24) shall be completed and
tagged to the internally calibrated tool/equipment.

4 Internal Calibration Procedure.

Calibration frequencies shall follow the details specified in table no.


(2)
Internal calibration shall be performed in a controlled area where
requested temperature can be controlled.
The details specified in 3.3 above shall be recorded in the internal
calibration report.
The intended calibration range shall be recorded in the internal
calibration report before the start of calibration.
Both readings (Measured and reference) shall be measured carefully
and recorded in the internal calibration report.
The deviation shall be calculated and specified in the calibration
report.
Equipment/Tools that show an acceptable deviation shall be released
for usage.
Equipment/Tools that show non acceptable deviation shall be kept in
a controlled area with tags (HOLD) and sent for maintenance or
discarded.

Densitometer calibration procedure


Calibration of radiographic Densitometer shall be performed by RT
Level III or Level II examiner at least every 90 days during use.
Calibration of radiographic Densitometer shall be performed by using
a step tablet or a step wedge calibration film, traceable to a national
standard step tablet and having at least 5 steps with neutral
densities from at least 1.0 through 4.0
The calibration procedure shall follow ASME code; section V, T-262.
The Densitometer is acceptable if the density readings do not vary by
more than +0.05 density units from the actual density stated on the
national standard step tablet or step wedge calibration film.
Shift calibration verification checks shall be performed at the
beginning of each shift, after 8hr of continuous use, or after change
of apertures, whichever comes first.
Densitometer calibration readings shall be recorded in the
densitometer calibration log (Form no. QD-C-03) and shall be
approved by Quality Control Manager.
Shift verification readings required above do not have to be recorded.

Subcontractor tools
Calibration certificate for all tools of subcontractors should be
committed to this procedure
