Abstract

Roundness (or circularity) and flatness measurements are made as part of the dimensional inspection process to certify that iridium alloy Clad Vent Set (CVS) cups meet the dimensional requirements of Iridium Alloy Cup Drawing M2D920101A005, Rev. 4 (see Figure 1). A Mahr Federal (Providence, RI) MarForm MMQ 400 Formtester is specified in the cup inspection Procedure GPHS-C-3624/25, Rev. 25 for roundness (dimension 16) and flatness (dimension 17). The Mahr Federal (Providence, RI) MarForm MMQ 400 Formtester stopped functioning in 2019. A new Mitutoyo RA-2200 Roundness Tester was purchased to replace the MMQ 400. Evaluations were conducted to qualify the new RA-2200 for CVS cup dimensional inspection work. The criterion for qualification was to ensure that the new RA-2200 instrument would yield roundness and flatness inspection results equivalent to or better than the predecessor MMQ 400 instrument.
