I am asked to calibrate shop floor ring and thread gages.
I don't think that the CMM is the device to use.
I propose that I have a calibrated set of ring and thread gages in the lab as masters.
And calibrate the floor ones with those.
But I am open to ideas.
My guess is that you and your lab are NOT accredited to do that work, they just don't want to pay to send them out and have it done correctly.
Yeah, I would give that a big pass, especially if any thing checked/approved with them is a safety critical item, you could see jail time for something like that.
Left a job for that exact reason. I wasn't putting my name on the stuff.
I looked at the old 'in-house' calibration data. They had ring gages calibrated using gage blocks and all kinds of other pencil-whipped BS. Didn't even try to make it look right. The look on my face when I realized almost nothing in the place was calibrated must have been something.
