Grind gages, applicators, and wedge plates can all be certified. Short form certification is a document stating that the item meets or exceeds the standards associated with said gage, and is available only for grind gages. Long form certification, available on all gages, reports the gage model number, product material, hardness and actual measurement/deviation of critical dimensions. It includes marking a dedicated identification number on each gage, and provides certification of NIST traceability.
We can accommodate many special requests, such as using customer provided identification numbers, marking scrapers with identification numbers, and putting specific customer requested certifications periods on certification papers. Primary standards used meet or exceed requirements of Federal Specifications GGGG15-C. Other standards used are ANSI Z540.1 and ISO 10012-1.

Railroad Certification
Gage certification is the foundation of a railroad gage surveillance program. Gage surveillance is simply an orderly system of keeping records on railroad gage wear. PG&T supplies long form certification for new railroad gages and masters. Each received a dedicated I.D. number. An assigned PG&T number will be used if a number or other type of mark is not designated or requested at the time of purchase.
PG&T will also certify other special tooling items upon request.
