Do Steel rulers need to be calibrated?
Do Steel rulers need to be calibrated?
With regards to the simple steel ruler (or any other measuring equipment), if you are using it to measure or monitor product or process quality then it needs to be calibrated.
How often should a steel rule be calibrated?
one-year
4.2 The calibration period of the steel ruler in service can be determined on the service condition, usually one-year. the range (20±2)0C for the third grade standard metal line rulers made of invar.
What is a calibrated ruler?
Properly Calibrated Rulers are at the core of traceability and accuracy for many manufacturing processes and product inspections. Made to also calibrate the inside and outside tab on a flexible steel tape measure (this is the cut seen in the calibration bed.) +/-0.0005″ Resolution linear scale.
What is the accuracy of a steel rule?
How accurate is a steel rule? In general, a measuring device is considered accurate to the smallest graduation. So a steel rule that is graduated to 1/64″ is accurate to about 0.015″.
What is steel rule?
What is a steel rule? A steel rule is exactly what it sounds like… a rule manufactured from either spring or stainless steel that feature either metric or imperial (or both) scales along its length. One end is usually flat whilst the other end (frequently including a hole for hanging) is usually round.
How many types of steel rules are there?
There are four basic divisions that are found on a fractional inch rule. These are: 1/64, 1/32, 1/16 and 1/8 of an inch. Let’s look at each graduation a little closer. A 1/64″ graduate scale means that in a 1-inch length, there are 64 lines dividing that inch (Figure 3).
What are steel rules?
A steel rule is the simplest and most common measuring tool. The flat steel rule is usually 6 or 12 inches long, but longer sizes are available. Steel rules can be flexible or nonflexible, thin or wide. Generally, a steel rule has four sets of marks, two on each side of the rule. On one side are the inch marks.
Are ruler and steel rule calibration services NIST traceable?
All Ruler and Steel Rule Calibration are compliant with ISO 9001 and NIST traceable. Ruler and Steel Rule Calibration services are available either at our laboratory or at your facility, depending on location and number of instruments requiring calibration.
Why choose ACS calibration for your steel rule calibration?
