Metrology Data

About Metrology Data

METROLOGY DATA contains calibration procedures and technical manuals for test and inspection equipment. It also contains engineering information on calibration laboratories, calibration systems and measurement systems. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) contributes a significant portion of the engineering data related to measurement science.

GIDEP Metrology Data is information provided by participants from industry, government organizations, and professional groups of the metrology community. Documents submitted by a participant may be either as a printed paper copy or as a word processing file on electronic media.

With GIDEP WWW Database Access or the Metrology DVDs, GIDEP Participants can:

• Locate and download latest Industry, DoD, or other government Calibration Procedures
• Locate and download latest NIST and other government or industry general Metrology Documents
• Submit Urgent Data Request (UDR)
• Review all TM&DE Failure Experience and Product Information

Submitting Data

The growth of GIDEP Metrology data depends on data contributions from its participants. GIDEP encourages the submission of any Metrology Data related documents from participants as well as non-participants. The documents submitted may be either as a printed hard copy or, preferably, as a word processing file on electronic media.

Answers to Metrology FAQ

Q: What are the types of metrology documents?

A: While Metrology Data includes a broad range of measurement related subjects, the majority of data is calibration procedures and general metrology documents. It is divided into three data types:

1. Calibration Procedures (CP) - Detailed procedure used for periodic verification of performance of test, diagnostic, and measurement equipment.
2. Metrology Documents (MD) - Any report on a measurement science related topic and not fitting either of the other two documents designations (CP or TM). Documents containing information of interest to individuals in the measurement science community, especially metrologists, metrology technicians, and engineers.
3. Technical Manuals (TM) - Documents providing detailed maintenance, and/or repair, and/or operation instructions.

GIDEP does NOT contain any Classified, Copyright, or Proprietary data.

Q: How much information is there?

A: GIDEP contains over 50,000 Metrology data documents, representing 30 years of data and 2,000 documents are added each year.

Q: Where does the information come from?

A: While Army, Navy, & Air Force Metrology Centers are the major contributors of Calibration Procedures, the broad spectrum of information results from submissions by participating activities throughout the U.S. and Canada. If you have any Metrology Data related reports, send them to GIDEP to be included to the data base.

Q: How do I get access to Metrology documents?

A: Access to Metrology documents is as follows:

1. GIDEP Metrology DVDs
• TIFF Images (1 Oct 93 to 30 Sep 98)
• PDF Documents (1 Oct 98 to latest release date)
2. WWW Database
• January 1993 to present:
• Retrievable "PDF" documents.
• Aspects, Abstract, and Part Set of Test Instruments applicable to each document.
• Full text On-line for documents submitted by participants on electronic media.
• Pre 1993:
• Document cross reference data On-line (i.e., Aspects, Abstracts, & Part Sets)
• Documents are obtained by contacting the GIDEP Help Desk and providing the type of document, microfiche, and document numbers to the GIDEP Help Desk.
• Many Technical Manuals (TMs) are available on microfiche with cross reference On-line
• Most Tektronix TMs are available from GIDEP Op Center
• For assistance with other equipment manufacturers, participants can contact GIDEP manufacturer Representatives directly with the assistance of the GIDEP roster.
