# EML Calibration Explains: The Importance of Ring Gage Calibration
As an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration laboratory, ensuring your equipment meets the strictest accuracy and traceability requirements. This article explores the basics of ring gage calibration, explains why it matters, and highlights how our calibration services support reliable measuring and testing.
What is Ring Gage Calibration?
Ring gage calibration is the process of verifying and adjusting the accuracy of the ring gauge using traceable standards and 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 match specifications by accounting for allowable tolerances, accumulated wear, or temperature fluctuations.
In this calibration load cell calibration service procedure, technicians use advanced digital measuring equipment and calibrated instruments to validate the ring gage dimensions. Calibration labs like EML Calibration implement stepwise calibration sequences, often involving the use of soak plates for thermal stabilization and reduction of uncertainty in measurement.
The Calibration Procedure for Ring Gages
At EML Calibration, the ring gauge calibration process is structured to meet all accuracy and compliance demands. The process typically includes the following steps:
1. **Equipment Preparation:** The ring gage and master reference standards, including master ring gages and gage blocks, are cleaned and inspected visually for any surface damage.
2. **Temperature Stabilization on Soak Plate:** 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. **Measuring Using Digital Instruments:** Calibrated digital micrometers or specialized measuring instruments are used to measure the ring gage’s ID or OD with high precision. These instruments have traceable calibration certificates to ensure the validity of measurements.
4. **Comparison Against Master Standards:** We repeat measurements and compare them to master gages or gage blocks to confirm compliance with class limits and specified tolerances.
5. **Result Recording and Validation:** Calibration results ring gage calibration 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. **Adjustment and Repair (if applicable):** Ring gages that do not meet tolerance may be repaired, adjusted, or replaced, ensuring continuing measuring accuracy.
