What is Dimensional Calibration?
Dimensional Calibration is the process of verifying and adjusting measuring instruments that determine length, width, height, depth, angle, diameter and geometric tolerances. This type of calibration ensures that your tools and devices deliver precise, traceable and repeatable measurements according to the industry standards.
Why is Dimensional Calibration Important?
Dimensional Calibration guarantees accuracy in precision measurements critical to part inspection and product conformity. It reduces the risk of manufacturing defects, costly rework and equipment downtime due to inaccurate tools.
- Ensures Measurement Accuracy
- Supports Quality Control & Compliance
- Reduces Scrap and Rework
- Maintains Traceability
- Improves Customer Confidence
What Equipment Needs Dimensional Calibration?
Dimensional Calibration is required on a variety of instruments:
- Vernier Callipers
- Micrometers (Internal/external)
- Height Gauges
- Dial Test Indicators
- Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM)
- Gauge Blocks, Ring Gauges and Plug Gauges
- Profile Projects
- Optical Comparators
- Measuring Microscopes
- Step Gauges
- Glass Scales
Who Needs Dimensional Calibration?
Dimensional Calibration is vital in all industries that use Dimensional equipment. This includes:
- Manufacturing and precision engineering companies producing parts to tight tolerances
- Automotive, aerospace, and defense industries where exact dimensions are critical
- Tool and die makers
- Metrology and calibration laboratories
- Research and development facilities requiring precise physical measurements
- Quality control departments in various industries
How Often Should It Be Calibrated?
Most Dimensional Measuring Tools can be calibrated annually, though high-use and mission-critical equipment may require more frequent calibration, such as every 3-6 months. Frequency also depends on operating conditions, tolerances and audit requirements.
- Annually is standard for most tools and industries
- More frequent calibration (every 3-6 months) for high-precision environments or critical applications
- After tools are dropped, damaged, or repaired
- Before key inspections, audits, or customer deliveries
