Ok, so there is doing a calibration wrong, and then there is OMG! The red item in this photo, for those of you who do not recognize it, is a standby compass used in aircraft. It's often used when aircraft mechs "swing" aircraft on actual compass roses to verify that navigational equipment is on par. Mildly important I guess. Maybe someone out there knows more about how they are used. What I know for certain, is they are NOT calibrated in 5 minutes with a cell phone app.

Another post revolving around quality. Does having a 17025 accreditation mean anything or has it become a "pay to play" check in the box? It would seem you can have a hit list thicker than your scope and still walk away with the cert. The next apocalypse likely will be traced back to some, for lack of better words, hack job operation of a "calibration lab". Hopefully this is not the case everywhere but seems to be relatively prevalent. Places where knowledgeable metrologists, proper standards (or standards at all for that matter) and overall quality take the back seat to Jergens and the bottom line. To end users out there (dependent on your level of actual care), pay attention to the fine details of your service providers, learn how to read their scope for sure. If you do not know, send us an email! 😀 Monetary loss due to poor quality anywhere in your system (including your calibration) is real! On the other foot, perhaps has high demand people we've created this vicious cycle where speed will beat out quality every time? Thoughts?

Still looking for giveaway ideas, serious ones. 🤨 At this point the next one could be tomorrow, or Christmas! To everyone doing it right, keep it up, those of you who are not, step it up. Good site (https://asq.org) Most everyone knows of it I'm sure.

Hello Everyone! Been slow with the posting! Trying to operate two completely unrelated operations is taxing! Still have no idea what to do for the next giveaway (throw some suggestions), at this rate it might be next year before we get around to it! I've been working with a few people and talking with companies and I feel (as well as some of these reps) as though overall there is a serious lack of quality and/or care in commercial metrology. Everyone likes to make money no doubt, I would argue it's not worth short changing customers or overclocking your employees to the point of not caring. I've heard numerous times "it's commercial calibration" as an excuse for the lack of quality or corner cutting. Does it really matter? NO! At what point do you just start selling certs and stickers. On a somewhat relate note, those of you who work in the commercial realm of metrology, does the entity charge a flat rate or calibration hour rate? Pros and Cons? Comment, give your opinion if you care to share. Keep it Quality!

Good Morning Everyone! Haven't been very active lately on FB. If life isn't busy it's upside down! We are working on a lot of business items, seems to never end! Mr. Sodl received his IR Thermometer and is happy with it! Those of you who recently liked the page or are following have been added to the list for the next giveaway, unsure as to when that will happen OR what it will be. Any suggestions are welcome.

Question for thought or comment: How do we combat the "I want it faster and cheaper" mentality from infiltrating the quality of this science. Has it already? Any situations you have seen that are related to this?

Have a great day everyone!
