# EML Calibration Explains: Why Ring Gage Calibration is Essential for Precision
As an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration laboratory, ensuring your equipment meets the strictest accuracy and traceability requirements. In this guide, you’ll learn the fundamentals of ring gage calibration, its significance, and how our calibration procedures ensure reliability in testing and measuring.
What is Ring Gage Calibration?
Ring gage calibration is the process of verifying and adjusting the accuracy of the ring gauge using traceable standards and precision instruments. During calibration, the ring gage is measured against certified reference standards such as master ring gages or gage blocks. The process ensures that the ring gage’s dimensions match specifications by accounting for allowable tolerances, accumulated wear, or temperature fluctuations.
Technicians employ digital equipment and calibrated instruments to check each ring gage’s measurements. Calibration labs like EML Calibration implement stepwise calibration sequences, often involving the use of soak plates for thermal stabilization and reduction of uncertainty in measurement.
The Calibration Procedure for Ring Gages
We conduct all ring gauge calibrations according to accredited procedures for uncompromising accuracy and compliance. This procedure usually includes several steps:
1. **Clean and Inspect Equipment:** Ring gages and all master standards—like master ring gages and gage blocks—are thoroughly cleaned and visually checked for damage.
2. **Thermal Equilibration on Soak Plate:** We position both the ring gage and standards on a soak plate so they reach standard lab temperature—usually 20°C—to ensure temperature consistency and minimize error from expansion.3. **Precision Digital Measurement:** Calibrated digital micrometers or specialized measuring instruments are used to measure the ring gage’s ID or OD with high precision. These instruments have traceable calibration certificates to ensure the validity of measurements.
4. **Comparing to Reference Standards:** Multiple measurements are taken and checked against master ring gages or gage blocks, confirming ring gage dimensions fit within allowable class tolerances and requirements.5. **Documentation and Validation:** Calibration results are documented in a calibration certificate issued with full traceability to national standards. This certificate acts as a formal record for quality audits and compliance.
6. **Adjustment and Repair (if applicable):** Should any ring gage be out of tolerance, actions are taken to adjust, repair or swap as needed to achieve accuracy.Why Choose EML Calibration for Your Measuring and Testing Needs
