Measurement of Linear Dimensions - Part 1: Design and Metrological Characteristics of Callipers

Comprehensive Guidance for Precise Dimensional Measurements

BS EN ISO 13385-1:2019 is an essential standard for anyone involved in the precise measurement of linear dimensions. This international standard, identical to ISO 13385-1:2019, provides comprehensive guidance on the design and metrological characteristics of callipers - a fundamental tool for dimensional metrology.

Callipers are a staple in manufacturing, engineering, and quality control, enabling the accurate measurement of a wide range of components and parts. This British Standard ensures that callipers meet the highest standards of performance and reliability, allowing users to have confidence in their measurement results.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Defines the essential design requirements for various types of callipers, including vernier, digital, and dial models
• Specifies the metrological characteristics that must be satisfied, such as accuracy, resolution, and reproducibility
• Provides guidance on the selection of appropriate callipers for specific measurement tasks
• Outlines the necessary testing and calibration procedures to ensure the ongoing reliability of callipers
• Supports compliance with relevant quality management and metrology standards, such as ISO 9000 and ISO/IEC 17025

Ensuring Measurement Traceability and Conformity

Accurate dimensional measurement is critical in a wide range of industries, from aerospace and automotive to medical device manufacturing and construction. BS EN ISO 13385-1:2019 helps organisations ensure that their measurement practices are traceable, reproducible, and in full compliance with regulatory and industry requirements.

By adhering to the specifications outlined in this standard, businesses can demonstrate their commitment to quality, improve their manufacturing processes, and enhance customer confidence in their products and services.
