# EML Calibration Explains: The Importance of Ring Gage Calibration
As an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration laboratory, safeguarding high standards of accuracy and traceability. In this guide, you’ll learn the fundamentals of ring gage calibration, its significance, and how our calibration procedures ensure reliability in testing and measuring.
What is Ring Gage Calibration?
When calibrating ring gages, experts use traceable standards alongside precision instruments to ensure accuracy. The process is done by measuring the ring gage relative to pre-certified master gages or known gage blocks. The process ensures that the ring gage’s dimensions meet all required specifications and account for possible tolerances, wear, or environmental effects like temperature shifts.
Specialists rely on advanced digital measuring technology and certified instruments for precise validation. Our calibration procedure includes staged steps and thermal stabilization, for example using soak plates, to ensure accuracy and minimize measuring uncertainty.
How EML Calibration Calibrates Ring Gages
We conduct all ring gauge calibrations according to accredited procedures for uncompromising accuracy and compliance. Here’s a typical sequence of steps:
1. **Clean and Inspect Equipment:** We begin by cleaning the ring gage and master reference standards such as master ring gages and gage blocks, and inspecting them for surface issues.
2. **Soak Plate Stabilization:** The ring gage and all standards are set on a soak plate to stabilize at lab temperature (usually 20°C), mitigating error due to thermal expansion.3. **Measuring Using Digital Instruments:** We utilize calibrated digital micrometers or dedicated measuring tools to measure the internal or external diameter (ID/OD) of the ring gage, with certificates confirming their measurement traceability.
4. **Comparison Against Master Standards:** Measurements are taken multiple times and compared against master ring gages or gage blocks. The ring gage dimensions are assessed to verify they are within permissible class tolerances and specifications.5. **Documentation and Validation:** Calibration results are documented in a calibration certificate issued with full traceability to national standards. This certificate acts as a formal record for quality audits and compliance.
6. **Corrective Action (if necessary):** Should any ring gage be out of tolerance, actions are taken to adjust, repair or swap as needed to achieve accuracy.Reasons to Trust EML Calibration for Measurement and Testing
