Why Calibration Matters for Measurement Accuracy
For precise measuring and accurate testing, maintaining the traceability and dependability of your measurement results is essential. Through calibration, ring gage dimensions are verified against NIST-traceable standards to confirm their measurement performance. If ring gauge calibration lapses, the ability to maintain measurement specifications is compromised, risking both inaccurate results and quality assurance failures.
EML Calibration offers specialty dimensional calibration services, utilizing advanced digital measurement instruments for outstanding validation. Our process involves using calibrated gage blocks, class steel ring gages, and digital micrometers to guarantee comprehensive measurement validation.

EML Calibration’s Equipment and Calibration Procedures
To deliver ring gauge calibration, EML Calibration leverages a diverse array of precision calibration tools, such as:
- **Digital Micrometers**: For high-resolution measurement down to microns.
- **Calibrated Gage Blocks**: Dimensionally verified, these act as the foundational reference standards.- **Soak Plates**: Allow gages and tools to reach thermal equilibrium, reducing effects from temperature on measurement.
- **Highly Accurate Master Ring Gages**: Serving as NIST-traceable standards, these master ring gages are confirmed for baseline accuracy.- **Certified Thread Gage Calibration Tools**: Used specifically to calibrate and verify thread ring gages and go/no-go thread gage accuracy.
Calibration at our lab is performed using meticulously controlled environments, combining digital measurements and manual checks for exact compliance. Steps in our calibration process comprise:
1. **Initial Inspection**: A surface and wear inspection for visible issues.
2. **Thermal Soaking**: Achieving thermal balance with a soak plate.3. **Measurement Against Reference**: Using a calibrated micrometer and master ring gages or gage blocks to record dimensions.
4. **Data Validation**: Validating measured data with permissible tolerance limits.5. **Documentation**: Creating calibration certificates documenting NIST references and ISO/IEC 17025 compliance.
