# EML Calibration Explains: Why Ring Gage Calibration is Essential for Precision
Being an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab, we emphasize the importance of ring gage calibration and provide comprehensive calibration procedures for maintaining the most rigorous standards of accuracy and traceability. This article covers the essentials of ring gage calibration, reveals why it matters, and highlights how our calibration services support reliable measuring and testing.
What is Ring Gage Calibration?
Ring gage calibration involves verifying and, if necessary, adjusting the ring gauge against traceable standards with precision instruments. 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.
In this calibration procedure, technicians utilize digital precision instruments and traceably calibrated tools to check ring gage dimensions. Our calibration procedure includes staged steps and thermal stabilization, for example using soak plates, to ensure accuracy and minimize measuring uncertainty.
The Calibration Procedure for Ring Gages
At EML Calibration, the ring gauge calibration process is structured to meet all accuracy and compliance demands. Here’s a typical sequence of steps:
1. **Clean and Inspect Equipment:** The ring gage and master reference standards, including master ring gages and gage blocks, are cleaned and inspected visually for any surface damage.
2. **Soak Plate Stabilization:** Both the ring gage and calibration standards are placed on a soak plate to equilibrate to a controlled temperature, typically 20°C, the standard lab temperature to reduce measuring deviation due to thermal expansion.3. **Digital Measurement Procedure:** 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. **Assessment Against Master References:** 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. **Result Recording and Validation:** We prepare a calibration certificate featuring complete traceability, serving as an audit trail and proof of compliance for quality processes.
6. **Adjustment and Repair (if applicable):** Ring gages that do not meet tolerance may be repaired, adjusted, or replaced, ensuring continuing measuring accuracy.Benefits of EML Calibration for Testing and Measuring
