Calibration: Repeated, Consistent Measurement
Gauge subcomponents wear out and often require repairs or replacement. Regular calibration keeps your team from ever being caught without the gauges they rely on daily.
Overseeing calibration is a constant balancing act. Your team works hard to keep scheduled maintenance on track, even as parts cycle out for repair and calibration.
Pulling parts out of circulation before certification dates expire demands foresight and planning — which is exactly why having a dependable partner in Solair makes the job easier.
The Process of Calibrating a Gauge
We test to find out if a gauge can be fixed, or if it needs to be replaced. Either way, we’ll adjust or repair the instrument. In turn, you get a gauge that provides accurate measurements.
.01
Test to Check
We begin with a standardized process of testing the gauge’s performance, looking to see how well it measures when a specific force is applied.
.02
Assess the Problem
We perform adjustments and repairs on gauges, testing them against our master gauges to establish accuracy and evaluate performance.
.03
Precision Equals Trust
Once the gauge has been assessed, tested, and then adjusted, we perform final checks to ensure the quality of our work.
Annual Calibration of Gauges
Your crew relies on job-ready equipment to keep aircraft maintenance running efficiently. Annual gauge calibration delivers the precise measurements your team needs to meet demanding maintenance standards.
- First, we thoroughly evaluate and test to uncover the problem
- We make adjustments and repairs are made to ensure accurate readings
- We use lab-certified master gauges to confirm precision
- Finally, we calibrate and labe each gauge, so you know who, when, and where
With Solair as your partner for calibration partner, keeping your maintenance list up to date is one less thing to worry about.
Solair’s Calibration Process
Our calibration process is built on strict standards and procedures, because we know your crew’s ability to perform intricate testing and maintenance depends on it.
.01
WE BEGIN WITH AN ANALYSIS OF ACCURACY
Using the manufacturer’s specifications, we test gauge readings for precision and accuracy. We use master gauges that have been lab-certified to test measurements on a gauge and achieve the highest accuracy.
.02
What’s not working? Repair or Replace?
Once we’ve checked a gauge to uncover why the pressure isn’t measuring correctly, we decipher the issue. If necessary, we take a gauge apart, and replace non-functioning pieces.
.03
Test Once, Twice, Three Times
After calibration, we test our work, again. Does the gauge track with our master gauge? Is the gauge reading within specification? Once a gauge’s accuracy is confirmed, we label it to show the date of testing.
