Calibration Terminology

2. The comparison of values of the test instrument to a standard of higher accuracy
5. This dimensional test instrument can perform multiple types of measurements
7. The most commonly used pressure medium in our laboratory
10. This tolerance applies to each individual test point rather than the full scale
11. The acceptable deviation from the test point being measured
14. This flat surface is part of the frame of an outside micrometer
16. This document is required to be followed when calibrating a test instrument
17. This tube holds pressure within a pressure gage
18. The outcome of Force times Distance
19. The smallest increment a test instrument can provide

1. A highly accurate piece of equipment that is used to calibrate test instruments
3. How closely a test instruments readings are to the true value being measured
4. The resistance encountered from gears or surfaces moving over each other
6. The inability of an elastic member to return to its original position after being stressed
8. The term used describe an instruments lowest measurement to highest measurement
9. This standard can be steel or ceramic and is commonly used to calibrate dimensional instruments
11. This test instrument measures temperature
12. The term for the temperature of the surrounding environment
13. This type of pressure fitting does not require teflon tape to create a seal
15. This term is used to indicate your test point value
