TO 00-20-14 30 September 20111.4.15 Correction Chart. A chart prepared for a specific item. The chart shows corrections to apply to indicated valuesto obtain true value. In instances where an item is charted and the item’s accuracy or uncertainty is applied, the chartedvalues can be used through the item’s calibration interval. However, in instances where a better accuracy or uncertaintyof another standard is “transferred” and being used, the charted values may only be used to complete the immediatecalibration requiring the transfer/charting. The AFPSL is authorized to assign an interval only after a documentedengineering analysis is completed that supports the transfer of accuracy or uncertainty to the assigned interval.1.4.16 Equipment Types:a. Mission Equipment. Part of operational ground or airborne systems.b. Non-TMDE. SE not meeting the TMDE definition. This equipment does not require calibration and is theresponsibility of the user.c. Precision Measurement Equipment (PME). For purposes of this TO, PME is the same as TMDE. This is theformer title for TMDE.d. Support Equipment (SE). A broad category of equipment and tools used to verify and maintain missionequipment. Support equipment can include equipment used to verify the operation of other support equipment.SE is categorized as either TMDE or Non-TMDE. The AFMETCAL Program is primarily concerned withTMDE support equipment.e. Test, Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE). Devices used to maintain, evaluate, measure, calibrate,test, inspect, diagnose or otherwise examine materials, supplies, equipment and systems to identify or isolateactual or potential malfunction, or decide if they meet operational specifications established in technicaldocuments. ISO 17025 refers to this equipment as “measuring and test equipment.”1.4.17 ISO/IEC Standard 17025. The international standard for commercial metrology, “General Requirements for theCompetence of Calibration and Testing Laboratories.” It includes the relevant requirements of ISO 9000 series standards.The AFMETCAL program does not approve this standard as the sole requirement for operating a USAF PMEL.1.4.18 Manager. The individual responsible for day-to-day management and operation of the PMEL and its associatedwork centers, such as production control, quality program and material control. Synonymous with PMEL superintendent,PMEL branch chief, TMDE branch chief, TMDE flight chief, TMDE section chief and Laboratory Manager. The PMELManager is referred to as the PMEL node manager under RNI.1-4

Measurement Traceability Of The Air Force Metrology And Calibration Program.1.4.19 Measurement or Reference Standards. Equipment by which the accuracy and traceability of a precisionmeasurement is derived. The typical chain of measurement standards is shown in Figure 1-2. The following are typesof standards:a. Air Force Measurement Standards. Equipment certified by NIST or other AFMETCAL approved sources.These standards are used by the AFPSL as a basic measurement reference for the Air Force.b. Air Force Primary Standards Laboratory (AFPSL) Working Standards. TMDE certified by the AFPSL and usedto calibrate other TMDE.c. Base Measurement Standards. Equipment certified by the AFPSL or AFMETCAL approved sources. Thesestandards are used by an Air Force PMEL as a measurement reference. Base Measurement Standards aredesignated in TO 33K-1-100-2.d. Exchange Standard. A calibration standard calibrated by the AFPSL through a calibrate and replacemethodology to minimize PMEL down time. An exchange standard is calibrated by the AFPSL and sent to aPMEL to replace a like base measurement standard before its calibration has expired. The exchange standardwhose calibration interval is expiring is returned to the AFPSL for calibration, then forwarded to another PMEL.The PMEL is responsible to fund shipping costs to return exchange standards to the AFPSL. TO 33K-2-11,Detailed Instruction and Information Pertaining to Air Force Primary Standards , Laboratory CalibrationExchange Standards, and Artifact Proficiency Testing Standards, PMELs Only, contains detailed instructionsand information for Exchange Standards.e. National Measurement Standards. Equipment or physical constants identified and normally used by NIST.These standards serve as a basic measurement reference for use throughout the United States and at U.S.installations/activities overseas.1-5
