DIN 862
Geometrical product specifications (GPS) - Callipers - Maximum permissible errors
Geometrische Produktspezifikation (GPS) - Messschieber - Grenzwerte für Messabweichungen
Overview
This standard applies to callipers as specified in DIN EN ISO 13385-1 with analogue indication and a maximum measuring range of 0 mm to 2 000 mm and a (Vernier) scale interval of 0,1 mm, 0,05 mm or 0,02 mm as well as to callipers with a digital display and a measuring span up to 1 000 mm with a digital step of 0,01 mm. This standard also applies to calliper depth gauges as specified in DIN EN ISO 13385-2 having a measuring range of 0 mm to 600 mm, or a measuring range of over 600 mm up to 1 000 mm, with analogue or digital indication. It specifies the maximum permissible errors. This standard has been prepared by Subcommittee NA 152-03-02-07 UA "Längenprüftechnik außer Koordinaten-, Form- und Oberflächenmesstechnik sowie Gewindekenngrößen" ("Length checking practice except coordinate, form and surface measuring technology as well as characteristics of screw threads") of DIN Standards Committee Technical Fundamentals (NATG).
