Calibration Procedure

This document outlines the procedure for calibrating measuring instruments and test equipment. It specifies calibration intervals ranging from 6 months to once for various items like pressure gauges, calipers, ovens, and thickness gauges. Instruments must be calibrated in recognized external laboratories, except for welding machine voltages checked in-house. Calibration is also required when instruments are suspected to be inaccurate or per client request. Calibrated instruments must have tags affixed and meet accuracy standards. Calibration records must include description, dates, standards used, and signatures. A register tracks calibration details of all equipment.

EXECUTION
Calibration Interval shall be maintained as given below for various items

a) Pressure gauge : 6 months


b) Vernier Caliper : 12 months
c) Temperature indicators of baking and holding oven: 12 months
d) Ultrasonic metal thickness gauge : 12 months
e) Measuring Tape : one time calibration
All the above instruments are to be calibrated in recognized outside laboratories.
Current and voltage of welding machines shall be checked in-house using a
calibrated digital clamp tester.
Whenever required by Client / Authorized Inspector, or there is a reason to
believe that the instrument or gauges etc are in error they may be calibrated
anytime accordingly.
