To achieve the maximum value from any DVT work, the measurement and
assessment of critical components pre and post test is a prerequisite.
This data enables the engineer to undertake predictive analysis of wear rates [ Re
Bath Tub !] and thus to increase his confidence level in the validity of the test
results and thus reduce the total number of tests to be undertaken
• It is the fine attention too detail that makes the difference between
a successful new model and a dead duck
• Accuracy and Attention to detail must become a way of life for you
• You must do all in your power to ensure that the results you produce are
correct ~ this is not as simple as it sounds
• Quality is important to both the customer and the supplier, without it the
two are unlikely to meet again
The customer must get what it is paying for, and everyone involved in the
provision of this must understand what the customer is expecting to
get.
Most ‘Quality Accreditation’ audits examine the whole operation to
establish that all involved are aware of their role in meeting the
standards
For all Quality Standards a company is accredited to, the accredited bodies
i.e. BSI, LQRA or UKAS will ensure compliance by visiting them as follows: -
a) Surveillance visits every 6 months, this will involve the body auditing parts of
the Quality System in rotation.
b) Re-Certification every 3 years, this will involve the body auditing every part of
the Quality System.
• The ISO 9000 series sets out the methods that can be implemented in an
organisation to ensure customers’ requirements are fully met. Not only does a
fully documented quality management system ensure the customers’
requirements are met, but the organisation’s requirements will also be met,
both internally and externally and at an optimum cost. This is the result of
efficient utilisation of the available resources - material, human and
technological.
• This Quality Standard covers the whole operation of the company, which
includes methods and procedures that a company commits to follow in order to
Assure Quality of their service or product that they are supplying to customers.
‘Downtime’ can cost the company as much as £1,000 per day for accredited
tests in test bed income, as well as customer inconvenience. Often a five-
minute task will prevent escalation into major causes of down time.
That is the essence of (TPM).

¾ Failure to calibrate, makes the test worthless a waste of valuable time and
money !
¾ Accuracy of measurement
¾ The closeness of the agreement between the result of a
measurement and the true value of the measurement
¾ Uncertainty of measurement
¾ Results of the evaluation aimed at characterising the range within
which a true value of measurement is estimated to lie
¾ Traceability
¾ The property of a result of a measurement whereby it can be
related to approximate measurement standards (National or
International) through an unbroken chain of comparison.
In order to repeat any given test at some time in the future, it is essential that
all variables are noted, for example:
¾ It will be impossible to replicate tests at some time in the future if one does
not have full records of engine build, cam timing, ignition and injection
timing, compression ratio, fuel,oil and coolant used.
Calibration for all elements critical to the utility of the test should always be traceable
to National Standards. The frequency of calibration should be determined by a
scientific approach paying due attention to the past behaviour of the measurement
system used. Evidence of calibration should be readily discerned on all
measurement equipment. Wherever possible the calibration of each parameter
should be performed with reference to the whole measurement system. Calibration
should include all instrumentation between the physical quantity being measured
and the point at which data is logged for use with the test report. For example,
calibration of a temperature sensor would require the sensor to be placed in a
temperature- controlled bath and the measurement recorded employing the
instrumentation used during test.
Operational Range; -
The widest possible range of values (difference between the maximum and
minimum values), anticipated to be seen for any given parameter throughout
the duration of the test.
Full Scale Deflection (FSD); -The maximum single sided values for each
measuring chain having a calibrated range intercepting at or through zero.
Accuracy of Measurement; -
The closeness of the agreement between the result of a measurement and the true
value of the measurement.
Uncertainty of Measurement; -
Results of the evaluation aimed at characterising the range within which a true
value of measurement is estimated to lie, generally with a given likelihood.
Trace ability; -
The property of the result of a measurement whereby it can be related to
appropriate measurement standards, (generally international or national),
through an unbroken chain of comparison.
