Anonymous July 13, 2020

OBJECTIVE

To lay down the procedure for calibration of the Disintegration Test Apparatus for better and error-free use.

SCOPE

This procedure is applicable for Disintegration Test Apparatus (MAKE: ELECTROLAB, installed in Quality Control Department.

RESPONSIBILITY

It is the responsibility of QC Executives to perform the calibration of the apparatus to follow the procedure fully.
It is the responsibility of the QC Manager to ensure that the procedure is properly followed.

FREQUENCY

Calibration should be conducted once in every six months and after repairs/maintenance.

Temperature Setting:

When the indicator displays 25°C, measure the temperature of the individual beaker with a thermometer and record the results as per Attachment-I
Repeat the same procedure for measuring the temperature at 37°C and record the results as per Attachment-I.

Strokes / Minute:

Record the number of up-down cycles per minute. Note down four readings for each bath and record the results as per Attachment-I.

Oscillations:

Measure the oscillations for Basket A and Basket B four times and calculate the mean value. Using a metric ruler, measure the distance the basket travels between the highest and lowest point of the bottom of the basket through the beaker. Record the results as per Attachment-I.
