EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
4. Equipment Required. Table 2 identifies the specific equipment to be used in this
calibration procedure. This equipment is issued with Secondary Reference Calibration
Standards 4931-00-621-7878. Alternate items may be used by the calibrating activity. The
items selected must be verified to perform satisfactorily prior to use and must bear evidence
of current calibration. The equipment must meet or exceed the minimum use specifications
listed in table 2. The accuracies listed in table 2 provide a four-to-one ratio between the
standard and the TI. Where the four-to-one accuracy cannot be met the four-to-one
accuracy will be listed and the actual accuracy of the equipment selected is shown in
parenthesis.
5. Accessories Required. The accessories listed in table 3 are issued as indicated in
paragraph 4 above and are used in this calibration procedure. When necessary, these items
may be substituted by equivalent items, unless specifically prohibited.
