Calibration Procedure Sample Clauses

The Calibration Procedure clause defines the process and requirements for ensuring that equipment or instruments are accurately calibrated according to specified standards. Typically, this clause outlines the frequency of calibration, the methods to be used, and the documentation required to verify compliance. For example, it may require that all measuring devices be checked annually by a certified technician and that records of calibration be maintained for audit purposes. The core function of this clause is to ensure the reliability and accuracy of measurements, thereby minimizing errors and maintaining quality control in operations.
Calibration Procedure. Metering system, calibration procedure and the procedure of taking the meter readings could be modified from time to time as may be decided with mutual agreement.

Calibration Procedure. The temperature sensor is built into the quarto conductivity/temperature cable and is not required to be calibrated nor is it available to do so. A weekly check is performed and checked against the NIST certified mercury thermometer. If the drift is found to be of a non-constant or excessive nature (see Table 5 for criterion), the sensor will be replaced, which means the entire cable will need to be replaced.

Calibration Procedure. The dynamic compactness and dynamic bearing capacity measuring gauge must be calibrated by a competent calibrating laboratory after it reaches the 10.000 measurements, but at least in every second year. Before calibration the gauge must be supervised in a professional workshop appointed by the manufacturer, the necessary repairs must be executed and/or the components appointed by the manufacturer must be replaced (for example: the Teflon slip ring or the synthetic rubber spring element). If the spring element cannot be replaced, then it must be calibrated also with a procedure determined by the calibrating laboratory. It is advantageous to apply long-life metal plate spring. If the spring element is made of plastic, rubber or it must be replaced during calibration according to the manufacturer’s instruction, then the followings must be verified with a measurement executed in a special laboratory and/or an expertise: during the replacement period between 0-40°C it is independent from temperature within 5 % tolerance; the accepted aging of K=N/m spring resistance is smaller then 5 % per year; and the change of its rigidity. The accepted different owing to the change of the temperature must be verified with a loading of at least 500 mm/min on the new spring elements, at least up to 10 kN within 5% tolerance; and at the end of the time period prescribed for the replacement of the spring element further 5 % tolerance can be permitted on the measured spring element. If the deflectometer gauge must be repaired or any of its components must be replaced, then the deflectometer must be calibrated again. During the calibration procedure the values measured and indicated by the deflectometer must be checked by a measuring system being independent from the deflectometer. The calibration data are at least the set- up drop height, and the mass of the falling weight. The calibration procedure must include at least the followings: dynamic load measured under the centring ball of the spring element, loading time, travel during the loading time, and their accuracy. The calibration must be executed in an accredited laboratory, which requires the development and approval of a suitable calibration procedure. The calibration must be executed on the basis of the input data provided by the manufacturer and if necessary it must be corrected by modifying the drop height. The calibration must include a force measuring being independent from the gauge and an independent deformation me...

Calibration Procedure. The specific conductivity meter should be calibrated at the beginning of each sample run and checked before and after sampling against a conductivity standard within the range of expected water quality results. Measuring conductivity provides a measure of the dissolved salts in the water sample, such as salts used to deice roads. The calibration procedure involves exposing the sensor to a solution of known salinity. The salinity of the solution used for the calibration depends on whether the water to be monitored is fresh, brackish, or saltwater. In our district the water is exclusively fresh water, thus we use a conductivity standard that has a value of 0.1 mS/cm, in order that the calibration is performed near the range of expected values. The following procedure is used for calibration:

Calibration Procedure.  Project manager shall consult with contract manager on the calibration targets and time period before proceeding with the calibration of the model.  Project manager shall recommend to contract manager, measured or calculated targets to be used for the model calibration. Calibration targets shall then be selected by the contract manager in consultation with the project manager.  Project manager shall do a further QA/QC on the agreed upon calibration targets and select the reliable ones out of the agreed upon calibration targets for final model calibration. If the number of final calibration targets differ from the number of agreed upon targets by more than 20 percent, the project manager shall consult with the contract manager (who may request for more calibration targets to be selected) before proceeding with the calibration.  Project manager shall provide reasoning for eliminating agreed upon calibration targets from the final calibration.  Project manager shall describe parameters adjusted during calibration of the model (for example, recharge, dispersivity, initial water quality (total dissolved solids) input, grid discretization, hydraulic conductivity, storativity, vertical hydraulic conductivity).

Calibration Procedure. 4.1. The calibration procedure shall be carried out within one month preceding the emissions test. The instrument assembly shall be calibrated and calibration curves checked against standard gases. The same gas flow rates shall be used as when sampling exhaust. 4.1.1. A minimum of two hours shall be allowed for warming up the analysers. 4.1.2. A system leakage test shall be performed. The probe shall be disconnected from the exhaust system and the end plugged. The analyser pump shall be switched on. After an initial stabilization period all flow meters and pressure gauges should read zero. If not, the sampling line(s) shall be checked and the fault corrected. 4.1.3. The NDIR analyser shall be tuned, where appropriate, and the flame combustion of the HFID analyser optimized. 4.1.4. Using purified dry air (or nitrogen), the CO (CO2 if used) and NOx analysers shall be set at zero; dry air must be used for the HC analyser. Using appropriate calibration gases, the analysers shall be reset. 4.1.5. The zero setting shall be rechecked and the procedure described in paragraph 4.1.4. above repeated, if necessary. 4.1.6. Gas meters or flow instrumentation used to determine flow through the particulate filters and to calculate the dilution ratio are calibrated with a standard air flow measurement device upstream of the instrument. This device must conform to the regulations of the National Bureau of Standards of the respective country. The points on the calibration curve relative to the calibration device measurements must be within ± 1.0 per cent of the maximum operating range or ± 2.0 per cent of the point, whichever is smaller. 4.1.7. When using a partial-flow dilution system with isokinetic probe, the dilution ratio is checked with the engine running using either the CO2 or NOx concentrations in the raw and diluted exhaust. 4.1.8. When using a full-flow dilution system, the total flow is verified by means of a propane check. The gravimetric mass of propane injected into the system is subtracted from the mass measured with the full- flow dilution system and then divided by the gravimetric mass. Any discrepancy greater than ± 3 per cent must be corrected.

  • Evaluation Procedure 6.1.1 The established evaluation form is to be prepared by the immediate supervisor under whom the bargaining unit member has served for sixty (60) working days or more. (See evaluation form attached as Appendix B.) The immediate supervisor is to present a draft of an evaluation report to the bargaining unit member in private and discuss the report with the bargaining unit member being evaluated. The evaluation shall be based upon direct observation by the immediate supervisor or verified facts. Evaluation reports reflecting “Needs Improvement” or “Does not meet standards” ratings shall include statements of deficiencies and recommendations for improvements, in writing, by the evaluator. The signature by the bargaining unit member does not indicate the employee’s agreement with the ratings; it indicates that the employee has received a copy. 6.1.1.1 Permanent employees shall be evaluated annually. 6.1.1.2 Probationary employees shall be evaluated at least once during the probationary period, prior to the end of the fourth month. 6.1.2 Evaluation reports reflecting “Needs Improvement” or “Does Not Meet Standards” ratings shall be placed in the bargaining unit member’s personnel file only after written notification by the supervisor that the bargaining unit member has been given an opportunity to prepare a written response to such evaluation. Prior to evaluation reports reflecting any “Needs Improvement” or “Does Not Meet Standards” ratings the evaluator is encouraged to implement a Performance Improvement Plan. (See Performance Improvement Plan form attached as Appendix C.) 6.1.3 A bargaining unit member has the right to attach a response to the employee’s evaluation provided that such written response is submitted to the employee's supervisor within fifteen (15) days of the employee's receipt of the evaluation. Any timely received response shall be attached to, and become a permanent part of, the employee's evaluation. 6.1.4 Evaluatees may, within ten (10) working days, present the employee’s objections to the evaluation decision to the Director Personnel Services. Grounds for the objections shall be based on one or more of the following: (1) the evaluation was not based on fact; (2) the evaluation was based on discriminatory standards; (3) the evaluation was not conducted in conformance with this Article. Within ten (10) working days of receipt of such objection the Director Personnel Services shall hear the objections and render a decision whether to uphold the evaluation or rescind the evaluation. 6.1.5 The bargaining unit member's supervisor may, at any time, prepare a notice of commendation. The completed form is to be signed by the bargaining unit member to indicate receipt and the bargaining unit member shall be given a signed copy. The original notice is to be forwarded to the Personnel Services Office for filing. 6.1.6 Contents of evaluations are not subject to the grievance procedure of this Agreement, Article VII, but procedural violations are subject to the grievance procedure. 6.1.7 The probation period shall be defined as the initial six (6) month employment period. 6.1.8 In the event a permanent bargaining unit member is hired for a new position, and is subsequently released from probation under section 6.1.7, the employee will be returned to the employee’s previous classification. 6.1.9 The District, CSEA and the bargaining unit member may mutually agree to extend the probationary period of a bargaining unit member on an individual basis provided the extension is no longer than four (4) months.

  • Escalation Procedure Tentative Rates for those species and products listed in A4a are subject to quarterly escalation in accordance with the following pro- cedures: The calendar quarter index average for each price index described in A5 is the arithmetic average of the three such monthly price indices preceding January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1. The difference between calendar quarter index average and Base Index listed in A4a shall be the basis for quarterly escalation. To arrive at Current Contract Rates for timber Scaled during the preceding calendar quarter, Tentative Rates for each species shall be reduced or increased by such difference, except when the calendar quarter index average is: (a) Less than the Base Index, the reduction shall not result in a rate below Base Rate or (b) Greater than the Base Index, the increase shall not exceed the difference between Tentative Rate and Base Rate. In the event of Contract Term Extension, the escala- tion procedure will be used during the extension period, except that adjusted payment rates for any calendar quar- ter cannot be less than Tentative Rates, for each species and product group, established under B8.23 for the ex- tension period.

  • Mediation Procedure The Chairman shall promptly advise the parties of a scheduled Mediation Hearing date. Unless a party requests an expedited procedure, or unless all parties to the proceeding agree to one or more extensions of time, the Mediation Hearing set forth below shall be completed within forty (40) days of BCBSA's receipt of the Complaint. The selected mediators, unless the parties otherwise agree, shall adhere to the following procedure: i. Each party must be represented by its CEO or other representative who has been delegated full authority to resolve the dispute. However, parties may send additional representatives as they see fit. ii. By no later than five (5) days prior to the date designated for the Mediation Hearing, each party shall supply and serve a list of all persons who will be attending the Mediation Hearing, and indicate who will have the authority to resolve the dispute. iii. Each party will be given one-half hour to present its case, beginning with the complaining party (or parties), followed by the other party or parties. The parties are free to structure their presentations as they see fit, using oral statements or direct examination of witnesses. However, neither cross- examination nor questioning of opposing representatives will be permitted. At the close of each presentation, the selected mediators will be given an opportunity to ask questions of the presenters and witnesses. All parties must be present throughout the Mediation Hearing. The selected mediators may extend the time allowed for each party's presentation at the Mediation Hearing. The selected mediators may meet in executive session, outside the presence of the parties, or may meet with the parties separately, to discuss the controversy. iv. After the close of the presentations, the parties will attempt to negotiate a settlement of the dispute. If the parties desire, the selected mediators, or any one or more of the selected mediators, will sit in on the negotiations. v. After the close of the presentations, the selected mediators may meet privately to agree upon a recommendation for resolution of the dispute which would be submitted to the parties for their consideration and approval. If the parties have previously agreed to be bound by the results of this procedure, this recommendation shall be binding upon the parties. vi. The purpose of the Mediation Hearing is to assist the parties to settle their grievances short of mandatory dispute resolution. As a result, the Mediation Hearing has been designed to be as informal as possible. Rules of evidence shall not apply. There will be no transcript of the proceedings, and no party may make a tape recording of the Mediation Hearing. vii. In order to facilitate a free and open discussion, the Mediation proceeding shall remain confidential. A "Stipulation to Confidentiality" which prohibits future use of settlement offers, all position papers or other statements furnished to the selected mediators, and decisions or recommendations in any Mediation proceeding shall be executed by each party. viii. Upon request of the selected mediators, or one of the parties, BCBSA staff may also submit documentation at any time during the proceedings.
