Description of Activity
1. Calibration frequency of devices
The minimum calibration frequency is defined in Appendix A. This is a basic list of devices used
within Baker Hughes. If required, each location shall have a similar list for devices not listed in
Appendix A including the additional calibration information.

Big Hole Fishing and Whipstocks New Gauge Ring Manufacturing Requirements
Example Instructions to Machine Shop for a 6” Nominal Size ring gauge:
Manufacture one (1) 6.015” +.005” / -.000” ring gauge.
(Upon receipt it will most likely calibrate near 6.017”. This fits our specified tolerance range for this gauge (6.015” –
6.020”), and will allow for a little room for the machine shop to actually go over what we tell them.)

Note 1: If a pressure gauge Class 2 (+/- 2% FS) is installed and the process accepts an
error equivalent to Class 3 or 4, then the device can be used until the error of +/-
2% is reached

Note 2: If a pressure gauge Class 1 (+/- 1% FS) is installed and the process accepts an
error equivalent to Class 2, then the device can be used until the error of +/-2% is reached.
Additionally Mud pressure gauges used in the squeeze manifolds for checking
pressurization do not need calibration, but maintenance after use to ensure they are
perfectly clean without traces of mud and ready for use; the zero shall be checked and if
found out of zero must be immediately replaced. However if accuracy of the this reading is
a process need or a customer requirements, the mud pressure gauges will be calibrated
and treated as any other pressure gauge.
Note 3: Monitoring and Measuring devices used for simple indication, for reference only
(steel rulers, tape measures) or for quick test (drifts and gauge rings not for acceptance)
will not be included in the calibration program and don’t need identification. These devices
will not be calibrated and when found out of acceptance will be retired from service and
disposed.
Note 4: If the option for “Prior To Use calibration frequency” is selected for Gauge Rings
used to check the OD of Fishing (Conventional or Thru Tubing) tools after redress, shall be
checked before use taking readings of not less than three positions (separated 120º) using
a calibrated vernier caliper, ensuring roundness and conformity with tolerances for casing
and tubing as required by API 5CT (Baker Oil Tools Tech Fact tables may also be used if a
copy of API 5CT is not available). Calibrations must be documented and include the gauge
ring number, calibration standard used, date of calibration and the initials of the person
performing the calibration.
Note 5: Drifts must be internally verified at the intervals established on Table #1, taking
three measurements approximately 60º apart, 2 inches from each end and in the middle,
making a total of 9 measurements. A calibrated reference standard shall be used. A report
shall be issued showing as minimum:
a. Date
b. Drift type, identification number and material
c. Accepted tolerance
d. Name of the technician/ third party performing the verification
e. Values obtained and the location on the drift
f. Device used including serial number, to trace its calibration.
