Screw gauges, also known as micrometers, are precision instruments widely used to measure small dimensions accurately in manufacturing, engineering, and laboratory settings. Ensuring their accuracy is critical for quality control and maintaining production standards. Screw gauge calibration in Bangladesh has become increasingly important for industries seeking precision and compliance with international standards.
Screw gauges are designed to measure dimensions with high precision, often up to 0.01 mm or 0.001 inches. However, regular use can lead to wear and tear, mechanical drift, or environmental factors like temperature fluctuations affecting measurement accuracy. Without proper calibration:
Products may not meet quality specifications.
Errors in measurement can lead to production wastage.
Compliance with industrial standards becomes difficult.
Calibration ensures that screw gauges provide reliable measurements by comparing them against a known standard and adjusting them if necessary. It not only enhances measurement accuracy but also extends the lifespan of the instrument.
The calibration of a screw gauge typically involves the following steps:
Cleaning the Instrument: Dust, oil, and dirt can affect accuracy. A clean screw gauge ensures consistent readings.
Visual Inspection: Check for mechanical damage or wear in the spindle, anvil, and thimble.
Zero Error Check: Close the micrometer without a test object and check if it reads zero. If not, the zero error is recorded.
Test with Gauge Blocks: Precision gauge blocks with known dimensions are used to verify the micrometer’s accuracy across its measurement range.
Adjustment: If discrepancies are found, adjustments are made according to manufacturer instructions to correct errors.
Documentation: Calibration certificates are issued, noting the instrument’s performance, calibration date, and due date for the next calibration.
Different types of screw gauges require specific calibration approaches. Common types include:
Outside Micrometers: Used for measuring external dimensions like the diameter of a rod or thickness of a sheet.
Inside Micrometers: Designed to measure internal dimensions, such as the diameter of a hole.
Depth Micrometers: Used for measuring the depth of slots or holes.
