Test instructions for length setting devices with numerical display
Only by measuring suitable characteristics can a statement be made about the quality of a manufactured product. For this purpose, the measuring equipment used must be tested regularly. There is now a new test instruction for this, published by the Association of German Engineers VDI, which sets and manages norms and standards in many areas in the German-speaking world.

New test instruction for the assessment of measuring equipment
The guideline series VDI/VDE/DGQ/DKD 2618 describes procedures and courses of action for monitoring and testing measuring equipment for geometric quantities. The test instructions create a basis for the evaluation of new and used measuring equipment. Sheet 17.2 of the guideline series applies to the testing of length setting devices with numerical display. In the form of directly applicable action and work instructions, the VDI/VDE/DGQ/DKD 2618 Sheet 17.2 the necessary work steps for the respective tests. In addition to calibration, the preparatory tests and activities are also explained. Furthermore, the guideline provides information on the evaluation of the calibration as well as on the documentation. In addition, an exemplary measurement uncertainty balance is drawn up in the appendix.Replacement of the December 2019 draft
