Create Rolling Gauge

Create Rolling Gauge

This Tutorial will teach you about the different gauge types and how to create and use the Gauges area. The Gauges area is where you can input the gauges you are using on your jobs to ensure they are calibrated before a job is run. Gauges can be classified as either a Standard Gauge or a Rolling Gauge depending on the way they are calibrated. 

Rolling Gauges 

Rolling Gauges are groups of like gauges that have a much shorter calibration period and are typically calibrated by an operator.

Standard Gauges 

Standard Gauges are single gauges or groups of gauges with a specified calibration period that are calibrated by a calibration engineer once this time period is expired. This is the more common gauge type. A tutorial for creating a standard gauge can be found here.

 

To start, click on the Gauges button from your Home Menu. 


 

This will bring you to a list of your current gauges. 


Note: This list will be empty the first time you visit this page.

 

From here you can create a New Standard Gauge, New Rolling Gauge, or View Gauge Archive. 

 

Rolling Gauge 

To create a rolling gauge, click the Rolling Gauge Button.

This will bring you to a form for creating your rolling gauge.


Enter the Serial Number for your gauge. Then Enter the Name/Description of the gauge. Finally, enter how many hours this gauge will remain within its Calibration Period (this is the length of time until the calibration will expire).

Click the Save button.

This will bring you to a page where you can edit the gauge, add individual gauge serials to this gauge category, or add gauge inspections.


To Edit your Gauge, simply change the necessary information in the form on the left and the click Save. 

To add an individual gauge serial number to this Rolling Gauge, click the Add Gauge Serial button on the right. (A tutorial for creating Rolling Gauge Inspections can be found here.)

This will bring up a form for entering the gauge serial number.


Enter the serial number of the gauge and click the Add button.

You will then be returned to the Edit page where you can add additional serial numbers.

 

 

CONGRATULATIONS!

You have created your first Rolling Gauge.
