SOP 6 - CALIBRATION OF VERNIER
CALLIPER GAUGES
Issue No.
E-1
INTRODUCTION
This procedure describes the steps taken when calibrating vernier calliper gauges of any dimension using the DIN 862 standard.
1.1
General aspects
Vernier calliper gauges are used to measure distances of either inside or outside measures or depths. Gauge blocks are used to calibrate the vernier calliper gauge.

MEASURING EQUIPMENT
Gauge blocks
Coordinate measuring machine
- ZEISS UMC 850
Gauge ring 50 mm

- ZEISS, 103 blocks
- MITUTOYO
RECEIPT
The vernier calliper gauge is received from the customer and is visually checked for any obvious defects. Defects which are checked are corrosion; missing or worn parts of the scale (on classical scales);
