NOTE
The test results report is not a correction chart. It is used to
compare length deviation between calibration intervals.
c. Preserve TI as follows:
(1) Wipe each TI with clean polishing cloth and apply thin coat of oil. Ensure that
all surfaces are covered.
(2) Wrap and seal TI as described in (a) through (d) below:
(a) Select appropriate size polyethylene tubing and cut length of tubing long
enough to completely sheath TI.
(b) Seal one end of tubing prior to inserting TI.
(c) Insert TI in tubing and seal close to TI with heat sealer.
(d) Remove excess overhang to approximately 1/16 inch from seal line to
minimize bulkiness. Check seams for adherence to assure effective sealing.
(3) Insert TI in appropriate place in carrying case.
Use cushioning material to
protect TIs as required.
d. Package TI as listed in (1) through (6) below:
(1) Place smooth side of barrier material directly on top of TI in opened case.
(2) Package calibration worksheets in suitable envelope and place in clear polyethylene.
(3) Place a copy of test results on top of barrier material.
(4) Place the following notice conspicuously on lid of storage box:
The polyethylene proteNive cover on gage blocks
ctOTE
is a control measure. Do not break seal of
protective cover on gage blocks which are not
required to perform an operation or
measurement. Discard polyethylene cover after
seal is broken.
Seal Date: __________________
(5) Close lid and make sure that clasps are secure.
(6) Bind the closed case with tape to prevent case from coming open during transit.
e. At the end of the extended interval, all TIs (regardless of last calibration date) will
be recalibrated. If TIs are within tolerance, they will be resealed and the cycle repeated.
f. Annotate and affix DA label/form in accordance with TB 750-25.
