Gage calibration training

3 day training for the calibration of physical dimensional gages out of Cincinnati Contact us

Trescal offers an intensive 3 day "hands-on" training for the calibration of physical dimensional gages such as calipers, OD/ID/depth micrometers, length standards, dial and digital indicators, snap gages, height gages and bore gages. Other gages may be covered as class time permits and based on the needs of the participants. Participants bring gages representative of those that they certify on a daily basis and all class members learn proper calibration techniques from each other as well as from the instructor.
