Due to improper use, measurement errors may occur; Poor maintenance can damage its accuracy and further affect product quality.

Maintenance and operation of tools and measuring instruments:

In mechanical measurement, in order to achieve ideal accuracy, in addition to controlling measurement environmental factors, careful attention must be paid to the use and maintenance of the measuring tools themselves. Due to improper use, measurement errors may occur; Poor maintenance can damage its accuracy and further affect product quality. Therefore, the use and maintenance of general measuring tools should pay attention to the following matters:

1、 Preparation before using measuring tools:

(1) Before starting the measurement, confirm whether the measuring tools have been reset to zero.

(2) Check the measuring surface of the measuring tools for rust, wear, or scratches.

(3) First, remove any burrs, oil stains, or debris from the measuring surface of the workpiece.

(4) Wipe clean with a clean soft cloth or dust-free paper.

(5) Regular inspection of the record book is required, and if necessary, it should be corrected again.

(6) Arrange the measuring tools and instruments to be used in appropriate positions, without overlapping.

(7) Fragile measuring tools should be laid on the workbench with soft cloth or wiping paper (such as optical flat mirrors).

2、 Precautions for using measuring tools:

(1) When measuring, the contact with the workpiece should be appropriate and not skewed. It is necessary to avoid touching the measuring surface with hands and protect the measuring tools.

(2) The measurement force should be appropriate. Excessive measurement pressure can cause measurement errors and easily damage the workload.

(3) The clamping method of the workpiece should be appropriate to avoid inaccurate measurement.

(4) Do not measure rotating workpieces to avoid danger.

(5) Do not forcefully push the measuring tool into the workpiece or use it with pliers.

(6) Do not randomly tap, throw or misplace measuring tools.

(7) The use of special measuring tools should follow certain methods and steps.

3、 Maintenance of measuring tools after use:

(1) After use, it should be cleaned thoroughly.

(2) Apply rust proof oil to the cleaned measuring tools and store them in the cabinet.

(3) Disassembly, adjustment, modification, and assembly should be carried out by specialized management personnel and cannot be carried out without authorization.

(4) Regularly check the performance of stored measuring tools and keep maintenance records.

(5) Regular inspections should be conducted to verify whether the dimensions are qualified, as a basis for continued use or elimination, and a record of inspection and maintenance should be kept.
