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. 

Rolling Gauges 

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

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. 

 

Standard Gauge 

To create a standard gauge, click the New Standard Gauge button. 

This will bring you to the form for creating your gauge. 

First, enter the Serial Number for the gauge. Enter the Gauge Description to provide more detail about the gauge and what it will be used for. Choose the date of when the gauge was Last Calibrated and Calibration Due for when the calibration will expire. Check the Customer Gauge box, if this gauge is maintained by the customer. Lastly, enter how many days in advance you would like to receive your Calibration Reminder to notify you of when a gauge is nearing its calibration due date.  

Click Create. 

This will bring you to the page where you can edit the gauge information or add Gauge Values for help with calibration.

To add details about this gauge, click New Gauge Value. This will open a form for you to enter specific information about values that apply to this gauge.

First, enter the Value Name for your gauge value (Example: Go or No-go, Inside Diameter, etc). Then, enter the Unit of Measurement (Example: CM, IN, ect).   

Next you will choose the Value Type as either an Attribute or a Variable. Depending on your choice you will be given different options for additional information.  

If you select an Attribute Value Type you will have four more fields of information to enter. 

Enter the Nominal Value, the Upper Limit, the Lower Limit and the Actual Measurement. 

 

If you select a Variable Value Type you will have three more fields of information to enter. 

Enter the Acceptable Deviation Upper, Acceptable Deviation Lower, and the Actual Deviation. 

 

Once you are finished entering your information, click the Add button. 

 

You will then be returned to the Edit Gauge screen where you can add additional Gauge Values. 

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

If you would like to add another gauge value to the gauge, click the New Gauge Value on the right. Repeat the process for Step 2 then click Add. 

Once you are finished adding values to your gauge, click on Back to List, to return to your list of gauges.

 

CONGRATULATIONS! 

You have now completed setting up a new standard gauge!
