Recommended Test Equipment
Table 8- 4 describes the test equipment recommended for the
performance verification and adjustment procedures. If the
exact equipment is not available, use the accuracy
requirements shown to select substitute calibration
standards. If you use equipment other than the
recommended equipment shown in Table 8- 4, you must
recalculate the measurement uncertainties for the actual
equipment used.
