What is the minimum required amount of TFIFRM gauge thickness accuracy checks during an inspection shift?

Gauge thickness accuracy checks ensure the measuring tool is giving accurate thickness readings of fireproofing during an inspection shift. The minimum you’d perform is three checks, spread across the shift to capture any variation in thickness and to detect instrument drift or bias. Doing multiple checks helps verify that readings are reliable, not just a single measurement that could be off due to a temporary issue. Make sure the gauge is calibrated according to the manufacturer’s specifications and that readings are documented. If any measurement falls outside the tolerance, recalibrate and re-check, then take appropriate corrective actions to bring the thickness into compliance.
