3.6.3. Each weight shall be weighed with a scale from reputable manufacturer or external
laboratory and stenciled with the applicable nominal weight prior to first use. A weight
need only be verified again if damaged in manner that could have caused potential loss
of material.

12 months.
3.7.3.The maximum allowed tolerances is :

* 5°C for master thermocouple.

* 10°C for production Thermocouple.

3.8. Calipers
3.8.1.The master caliper shall be calibrated every 12 Months by External Laboratory.
3.8.2.The production Calipers shall be calibrated every 12 months.
3.8.3.The calibration shall be performed with a minimum of three readings, one near 0, one in
the middle of caliper range and one near the end.
3.8.4.The maximum allowed tolerance is:-
*  0.8 mm for master Caliper from end of scale.
*  0.5 mm for Production Caliper from end of scale.

through 4.0, shall be used. The step wedge calibration film shall have been verified
within the last year by comparison with a national standard step tablet unless, prior to
first use, it was maintained in the original light-tight and waterproof sealed package as
supplied by the manufacturer. Step wedge calibration films may be used without

densitometer shall be followed.
* The density steps closest to 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 on the national standard step tablet
or step wedge calibration film shall be read
* The densitometer is acceptable if the density readings do not vary by more than ±0.05
