Establishing a Standards-Based Calibration Program (EI40)

Length: 2 days
CEU Credits: 1.4
Course Hours: 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.

Description:

This course presents the why’s and how’s for organizing, modifying, and improving the operation of industrial calibration and repair. You will also examine the standards and criteria for evaluating a present or proposed laboratory or shop.

You will be able to:

• Determine accuracy, precision, sensitivity, repeatability, and error as used in calibration and evaluation equipment
• Explain terminology and procedures for zero, span, and linearity adjustments 
• Calculate accuracy and error
• Apply standards such as those used in the ISO 9000 requirements for calibration
• Audit and evaluate traceability, calibration records, procedures and work instructions, and calibration personnel/training
• Perform a calibration system review

You will cover:

• Terminology: Accuracy Rating | Measured Accuracy | Precision | Sensitivity | Gain | Repeatability/Hysteresis | Errors Response Time
• Calibration: Defined | Calibration Curves | Data Sheets | Chart Analysis
• Calibration Problems: Zero Shift | Span Error | Linearity Error | Miscellaneous Errors | Accuracy Calculations | Limits
• Auditing a Calibration Program: Traceability | Records | Procedures and Instructions | Intervals | Reviews
• Calibrators: Accuracy | Operation | Calibration Tailoring | Calibration Forms
• Obtaining Standards and Literature: Contact Information | Interpreting Standards Requirements | Addresses | Telephone Numbers | E-mail Addresses 

Classroom/Laboratory Exercises:

• Calibrate and record the data from process measuring equipment using established standards and procedures
• Input collected data in a Calibration program, print reports, and evaluate
• Use modern calibrators and PC systems to create ISO 9000 approved documentation
