CONDUCT ARMY CALIBRATION POLICIES AND PROCEDURES Flashcards
(19 cards)
Calibration.
is simply the comparison of instrument performance to a standard of known accuracy
TMDE
TEST, MEASUREMENT, AND DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT
ATE (
Automatic Test Equipment)
TMDE encompasses.
• Equipment and instruments capable of performing one or more functional capabilities involving testing, measurement, and diagnostics.
• ATE (Automatic Test Equipment)
• Physical/dimensional, radiological and electrical/electronic type instruments and equipment
TMDE is essential to maintenance because.
of its distinctive ability to test, adjust, synchronize, repair, and verify accuracy, safety, readiness, and information assurance of weapon platforms and equipment using highly precise measurements across the physical, dimensional, radiological, electrical, electronic, electromagnetic, and electro-optical spectrums
Calibrated TMDE used in maintenance.
replicates the precision performance, and safety built into equipment during the manufacturing process
U.S. Army activities will use DA Form 1687 (Notice of Delegation of Authority - Receipt for Supplies) to
identify personnel authorized to exchange TMDE between the C&RS activity and the equipment owner.
. DA Form 1687 (
Notice of Delegation of Authority - Receipt for Supplies)
Additional duty orders are
a memorandum stating that said personnel have been recognized as having authority granted by the commander to perform said duties

(TMDE Calibration and Repair Data
TMDE equipment listed in
TB 43-180
DA Label 80 indicates
that the calibration performed on an instrument was sufficient to verify the item’s full specifications and the item may be used to its manufacturer stated capabilities without limitation.
DA LABEL 163
A limited calibration identifies equipment not fully calibrated to the authorized calibration procedure or equipment limited by the authorized calibration procedure due to known capability gaps between the calibration standards and the unit under test.
DA FORM 2417
a. Unserviceable and is turned in for repair or is awaiting repair and/or repair parts.
b. Determined to be not economically repairable.
Overprinting is authorized as follows:
• Void
• Calibration not required (CNR)
• Calibrate Before Use (CBU)
• Training Aid (TNG)
• Extended Interval (El)
• Army Pre-Positioned Stock/At Rest (AR)
Torque Wrench Direction (CCW) (CW
DA FORM 3758-R
All supported organizations must report their new TMDE calibration and repair support requirements to the USATA for inclusion in TB 43-180
DA Form 7372 will be used
as the official document for recording TMDE C&RS
actions and signatures.
