How To Schedule Calibration, Evaluation or Gage Repair

Step 1: Contact Your Account Manager

  • Reach out to your Account Manager to request a proposal for calibration or gage repair services. If you do not know your account manager please email info@johnsongage.com and be connected with your Account Manager.
  • When requesting a calibration or evaluation quote, you will be asked to provide the following details:
    • List of all items (Frames, Indicators, Elements, Standards)
    • Include complete frame models and thread designations when applicable
    • Provide your internal Gage ID or reference the Johnson Gage 3-letter code when applicable (Note: The 3-letter code is used on External/Internal Segments and Setting Standards)
  • For any questions, your Account Manager is able to assist.

Step 2: Submit Your Purchase Order and Ship the Gages

  • Once you have received the quote, create a purchase order. This will streamline the process.
  • Email the purchase order to your Account Manager
  • Include the Gage inventory list and the Purchase Order with the shipment.
  • Ship your items to:
    • Ship to: The Johnson Gage Company
      534 Cottage Grove Rd.
      Bloomfield, CT 06002
      Attn: Calibration

Step 3: Gage Calibration and Repair

    Upon receipt your items will be inventoried, evaluated and inspected.

  • If all items are found within specified tolerances, they will be returned promptly with the appropriate calibration documentation.
  • If any component is found outside of the tolerance limits, or items need additional servicing, your Account Manager will contact you to explain your options and if needed provide an updated proposal for your review.
  • You can choose to have your gages returned without further work, amend the current purchase order, or issue a new purchase order for the additional amount.

Certificate of Conformance (CoC)

Short Form (SF) Certification is the Certificate of Compliance.

A SF CoC is a statement that the gage complies with the applicable specification.

It is primarily a compliance declaration.

They do not include actual measured values, uncertainty date or inspection characteristics.

These typical Thread Gages are supplied with Certificate of Conformance:

Thread Work Ring Gages

Thread Work Plug Gages

Gage Element: Segments

Gage Element: Tri-Rolls

Certificate of Calibration

Long Form (LF) Certification is the Certificate of Calibration and provides detailed calibration and measurement information.

A Certificate of Calibration documents:

  • actual inspection/calibration results,
  • measured values,
  • traceability,
  • and details of the calibration process.

It is a metrology document rather than simply a compliance statement.

Thread Gages supplied with Certificate of Calibration:

Thread Set Ring Gages

Thread Set Plug Gages

Please contact your account manager if you require as-found information on your documentation.
