Calibration
Prerequisite: Chapter 9, Calibration
Introduction:
As indicated in the text, error is the enemy of measurement. To reduce the chance of error, we measure the measurement instrument to insure the readings given are as accurate as possible. Since each instrument exhibits its own metrological features, it would be too time consuming to focus on the calibration process on more than one instrument. Therefore, in this lab, we focus on calibrating a one-inch micrometer and
provide insight on the process of calibration and how it works.
Items needed:
1”-2” micrometer
Full set of gage blocks
Any specific adjustment tool required to set the zero point of the micrometer
Any necessary tools to assist in the disassembly and reassembly of the instrument
Demonstration:
Students should be fully capable of reliably reading a one-inch micrometer with accuracy and precision to the fourth decimal point.
Students should be able to use the micrometer standard, and know how to "wring" gauge blocks together

XERCISE 1
Observation:
Visually inspect the instrument. Using the classification of measurement errors guide
(
Figure 9–5
) identify and record any potential error attributes that may impact the
calibration of a one-inch micrometer. Complete the pre-calibration checklist (
Figure 9–
7
).
The calibration of a one-inch micrometer can be affected by a number of potential error characteristics. They include incorrect setting for zero, measuring faces that are old or broken, measuring faces that are covered in dirt or debris, and poor micrometer use or handling. To achieve
precise measurements, the micrometer needs to be periodically checked and maintained.
Pre-Calibration Checklist :
A. Identification
1. Does the information accompanying the instrument agree with the serial number and/or description of the instrument?
yes
2. Do you have a history of the calibration?
No
3. Do you have the instrument's instruction manual?
No
4. Are you in possession of all relevant federal specifications?
Yes
5. Do you have a user's account of actual or fictitious issues with the instrument?
Yes
6. Do you know how to dispose of the instrument after it has been calibrated?
No
B. Requirements
1. Is the setting for the calibration appropriate for the anticipated precision? Have the drafts, fluctuations in temperature, vibration, and
interference been minimized?
Yes
2. Are appropriate standards available, and are they calibrated?
Yes
3. Are the necessary accessories and instruments for calibration available, and are they calibrated?
Yes
4. Is there a heat sink with enough space available?
No
5. Are the necessary materials available?
Yes
6. Are pencils and paper on hand?
Yes
7. Are the materials for packaging available?
Yes
C. Preparation
1. Have the instrument, the standards, and the calibration instruments been normalized?
Yes
2. Has the instrument been visually inspected?
Yes
3. Have the reference and contact surfaces been inspected for damage, wear, and alignment?
Yes E
XERCISE 2
Calibration:
Confirm the zero setting of the instrument. Utilizing the supplied tool, adjust the instrument
(if necessary) to achieve a zero setting. Start a calibration process by using a 1.000", a
1.200", a 1.400", a 1.600", a 1.800" and a 2.000" gauge block. Take instrument readings
against the appropriate gage block and record the findings to full scale. Take the readings in
both Ascending and Descending directions and record those findings on a spreadsheet,
including the zero-setting and the Flatness/Parallelism check.

Your professor has recruited you to work in her lab to help her win the Nobel Prize. It is critical that your work be as accurate as possible. Rather than using the stated volumes of glassware in the lab, you decide to calibrate each piece. An empty 10-mL volumetric flask weighed 10.263 4 g. When filled to the mark with distilled water at 208C, it weighed 20.214 4 g. What is the true volume of the flask?

A. A customer asked you to explain your choice of a temperature sensor that you used for his PCB.
Initially, there were two sensor options. To compare between them, you decided to test their accuracy
and precision. Accuracy of a sensor is a measure of how near its reading is to the real value, the nearer
the measured value to the real value the better. While precision is a measure of how widely spread the
readings of a sensor are [relative to each other] when measuring the same variable, the narrower the
spread the better. So, you tested the two sensors by measuring the same temperature, which was 100
C of boiling water, and you recorder the following 10 measurements of each sensor. Which Sensor has
higher accuracy, and which one has higher precision.

We wish to measure a characteristic of a machined part whose nominal size is 50 mm at 20 °C. For this, two different instruments are used; an analog micrometer and a digital vernier caliper, both recently calibrated and with the same resolution (0.01 mm). The calibration certificate data of the analog micrometer and the digital vernier are shown in tables 5 and 6 respectively. In both cases the calibration uncertainty does not include the contribution of resolution uncertainty. Additionally, there are drift studies for both instruments and it is established that the drift of the micrometer is ± 0.002 mm while the drift of the vernier is ± 0.02 mm.
The same number of measurements were performed with both instruments to avoid repeatability biases under controlled environmental conditions. Table 7 shows the results of the measurements of both instruments. The temperature of the piece was monitored with a digital thermometer whose calibration uncertainty is 0.1 °C, which already includes…
