    3.3 Examine the gage for obvious external damage or other signs of
    abuse or wear which may affect the accuracy or function of the gage.

    3.4 Check all moving parts for loose or tight screws, bolts, nuts, clamps,
    or anything that might effect the function of the gage. Repair if necessary.

    3.5 Follow instructions for Calibration of Digital Electronic Indicators.
    Work Instruction No.. QAWK002.11

    3.6 If gage is not functioning properly and cannot be repaired, apply
    proper repair sticker and send out for repair.

    3.7 Review Product - Notify supervisor of out of calibration condition for
    immediate review.

    3.8 Spread coating of light gage oil on the gage to protect against
    moisture.

    3.9 If gage has a master, calibrate master using the tolerances in the
    calibration system.

    3.10 Apply Calibration sticker and enter calibration data into the
    calibration system.

1.0 PURPOSE

1.1 This method is to establish a standard procedure for the calibration
of dial, vernier, and electronic calipers.

2.0 CALIBRATIONS AND STANDARDIZATIONS

2.1 All standards used in the calibration are traceable to international
standard such as NIST.

3.0 TECHNIQUE

3.1 MATERIALS

3.1.1 Cleaning Solution
        3.1.2 Lint Free Cloth
        3.1.3 Gage Oil
        3.1.4 Caliper Checker
        3.1.5 For Calipers larger than 12 send out to outside Lab.

3.2 Examine the caliper for obvious external damage or other signs of
abuse or wear which may affect the accuracy or function of the
instrument.

3.3 Clean the caliper to remove any oil and/or foreign material (Note: Use
care not to spray any liquid into the dial or electronics.)

3.4 Check for proper working action and free movement. Oil track if
necessary.

3.5 Zero caliper and run through entire range (two times minimum).

3.6 Did caliper Zero each time?

3.7 If caliper did not ZERO Repair or send out for service.

3.8 Review Product - Notify supervisor of out of calibration condition for
immediate review.

3.9 Place any size gage pin at Tip and Zero. Move pin to Rear and
Zero. This is to check for proper alignment. If out of alignment repair
or send out for service.

3.10 Check inside and outside jaws for parallelism by holding the
instrument up to the light. No light should be seen between the jaws.
If any light is seen the jaws must be lapped and re-checked.

3.11 Check the caliper on the master as appropriate for the size of the
caliper being tested. Both inside and outside.

3.12 Is Caliper within required Accuracy? If not Send out for Service.

3.13 Review Product - Notify supervisor of out of calibration condition for
immediate review.

3.14 Apply Calibration sticker and enter calibration data into the
calibration system.
