| Abstract: |
High risk technology, such as advanced space launch systems, require that measurement assurance best practices be applied to the calibration of measuring and test equipment (MTE) and end-item testing. Pursuant to this, it is important to establish that MTE calibration procedures and results support end-item testing requirements. MTE are often initially selected based on manufacturer specified performance capabilities and affordability. The key question is which MTE performance specifications should be calibrated and to what accuracy? Emphasis is given to calibration support of MTE used for end-item acceptance or conformance testing because this is demonstrably the most important level of the calibration support hierarchy. The role of calibration in the validation and verification of MTE performance capabilities is discussed. Best practices for assuring measurement quality and reliability during MTE calibration are presented and illustrated. |
