CMCs represent expanded uncertainties expressed at approximately the 95 % level of confidence, usually using a coverage factor of k = 2. The actual measurement uncertainty of a specific calibration performed by the laboratory may be greater than the CMC due to the behavior of the customer s device and to influences from the circumstances of the specific calibration. 3 Field calibration service is available for this calibration and this laboratory meets A2LA R104 General Requirements: Accreditation of Field Testing and Field Calibration Laboratories for these calibrations. Please note the actual measurement uncertainties achievable on a customer's site can normally be expected to be larger than the CMC found on the A2LA Scope. Allowance must be made for aspects such as the environment at the place of calibration and for other possible adverse effects such as those caused by transportation of the calibration equipment. The usual allowance for the actual uncertainty introduced by the item being calibrated, (e.g. resolution) must also be considered and this, on its own, could result in the actual measurement uncertainty achievable on a customer s site being larger than the CMC. 4 In the statement of CMC, L is the numerical value of the nominal length of the device measured in inches, D is the diameter of the device in inches, and R is the numerical value of the resolution of the device under calibration. 5 This laboratory meets R205 Specific Requirements: Calibration Laboratory Accreditation Program for the types of dimensional tests listed above and is considered equivalent to that of a calibration. 6 Labmaster" and Supermicrometer are registered trademarks owned by Pratt & Whitney Measurement Systems, Inc., Connecticut U.S.A. 7 In the statement of CMC, percentages are percentage of reading, unless otherwise indicated.
