Both progressive and periodic errors are measured and certified, and knowledge of these errors can enable more precise use of the instrument by the operator. Clinometers and levels Block levels, clinometers and electronic levels are calibrated using sophisticated sine lever techniques. A Talyvel electronic level is calibrated using a Taylor Hobson small angle generator, and the user benefits from the ability to compensate for known errors when using the instrument. Telescopes and collimators The line of sight and displacement errors of a Micro Alignment Telescope are assessed using an optical wedge and fixed and variable focus collimators. Deviations are recorded on the UKAS certificate, providing the means for more accurate measurement. Micrometer and focussing accuracies are also verified using traceably calibrated scales and artifacts. Index and rotary tables Various techniques are used for the calibration of rotary devices, and uncertainties can be as low as ± 0. 3 seconds of arc. Diameter and Length The laboratory is currently accredited for the calibration of spheres, plugs, and rings.
Only the companies with clear quality modules which is documented on a regular basis will be eligible for ISO certification. Calibration Procedures The measurements acquired from the scale are compared with the measurements of the sub-standard instrument and the calibration curve is formed from the obtained values. If the measurements from the instruments are parallel to the substandard then it is a good enough calibration. Otherwise the readings will have to be taken multiple times. Static input is applied to the instruments and depending on the dynamic response the static calibration is built. Calibrations of an instrument ensures precision, consistent measurements, adheres to the government related standards which results in better and more accurate reading.
