Scope

What is BS EN ISO 13385-2:2020 about? This updated international specification is the second in a two-part series on callipers: one of the most basic, yet most important instruments used in manufacturing and mechanical engineering. BS EN ISO 13385-2:2020 covers calliper depth gauges. Who is BS EN ISO 13385-2:2020 for? It’s aimed at anyone in manufacturing or mechanical engineering who needs to measure the dimensional quantity of a step or the depth of a feature, specifically: Mechanical engineers Quality control and verification personnel Inspection officers Metrologists Measuring equipment manufacturers and suppliers Measuring instrument users Laboratories that test and calibrate the instruments It will be used in many industrial sectors including: Aerospace Defence Automotive Nuclear Rail Why should you use BS EN ISO 13385-2:2020? It specifies the most important and latest design and metrological characteristics of calliper depth gauges with: -      Analogue indication: vernier scale or circular scale (dial) -      Digital indication: digital display For the first time, BS EN ISO 13385-2:2020 includes default values for maximum permissible errors. Using the standard helps improve efficiency and manage risk. NOTE: General design characteristics for calliper depth gauges have been removed from this edition and now appear in the revised version of the generic measuring instruments standard BS EN ISO 14978:2018 Geometrical product specifications (GPS). General concepts and requirements for GPS measuring equi...
