Calibration
Calibration is the controlled and documented
process of measuring traceable calibration
standards and verifying that the results are within the
stated accuracy of the Gage. Calibrations are
typically performed by the Gage manufacturer or by
a certified calibration laboratory in a controlled
environment using a documented process.
Verification
Verification is an accuracy check performed by the
user using known reference standards. A successful
verification requires the Gage to read within the
combined accuracy of the Gage and the reference
standards.
Adjustment
Adjustment, or Calibration Adjustment, is the act of
aligning the Gage's thickness readings to match that
of a known reference sample in order to improve the
accuracy of the gage on a specific coating. (pg.8)
