212.212 Gage blocks.

(a) Test fee schedules in Section 212.212 include a statement of the accuracy to which measurements ordinarily are made; however, if the character of the defining defining surfaces of a gage block is not such as to warrant this accuracy, the report will show the accuracy actually obtained. All gage blocks submitted for test should be in substantially new block condition and each block should be marked with an identification number.

(b) In shipping gage blocks extreme gage blocks extreme care should be taken both against corrosion and damage by contact with other gage bocks. A11 defining steel surfaces should be greased and the blocks padded with waxed paper or volatile rust inhibitor treated paper. A greased steel surface coming in contact with newspaper, wrapping paper (unwaxed), or excelsior is very likely to corrode. Sets of gage blocks should have packing inside the case and the case should be bound shut as the clasps open or break frequently during shipment.

212.214 Steel tapes.

(a) Steel tapes are used for various types of long-interval length measurements. Some tapes, although of excellent quality and having application that that justifies NBS calibration, are not necessarily suitable for use as reference tapes. A reference tape should meet the following requirements: The tape should be a single flexible piece of flat metallic ribbon with all graduations marked directly on the face of the ribbon; principal graduations should be designated, except for zero when it is the starting graduation; and the total length correction should not exceed 0.1 in. per 100 ft (2 mm per 25 m) when supported on a horizontal flat surface under standard tension at 68 °F (20 °C). The standard tension is 10 lbs for tapes 25 to 100 ft in length (4.5 kg for tapes 10 to 30 m in length) and 20 lbs for tapes longer than 100 ft (9 kg for tapes longer than 30 m).

(b) Steel tapes of either reference or special-purpose type accepted for calibration will be issued a Report of Calibration and will be assigned an NBS serial number for identification. A steel tape considered to be suitable as a reference tape will also also be engraved with a mark indicating the year of calibration. The length intervals reported will be for measurements made with tapes supported at specified points in the same horizontal plane, under specified applied tension, and at 68 °F (20 °C). Normally, the accuracy of reported lengths will be one part in 100,000 or 0.001 ft (0.0003 m), whichever is greater.
