Abstract
Mitutoyo America’s Gage Calibration courses are unique, active, educational experiences designed specifically for those who plan and perform calibrations of dimensional measuring tools, gages, and instruments. This course is a condensed half-day version of the most popular course and will cover the calibration of outside micrometers and calipers. In addition, the course will build a base understanding of the principles in dimensional calibration so the student can extend the concepts to other measuring equipment.
Learning objectives:
- Participants will learn key calibration strategies, do’s/don’ts, and best practices through hands-on experiential learning.
- Participants will identify appropriate standards, gages, environmental controls, and resources necessary to successfully complete micrometer and caliper calibration.
- Participants will recognize additional learning resources, professional development opportunities, and credentials available in the field of dimensional metrology.
