SOP Title:<\/u><\/strong> Operation and Calibration of Stop Watch<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Objective:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To lay down the procedure for Operation and Calibration of Stop Watch.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Scope:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      This SOP is applicable for Operation and Calibration of Stop Watch located in Quality Control Laboratory .<\/p>\n

      1. Responsibility:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        • Quality Control: To prepare and review the SOP. To follow the procedures laid down for operation, cleaning and calibration of Stop Watch as per this SOP.<\/li>\n
        • Quality Assurance Department: To review and approve the SOP and Annexures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              5.1.1<\/td>\nThe stopwatch consist of\u00a0 two\u00a0 dials,\u00a0 Big dial shows the time in \u2018seconds\u2019 and small dial shows time in \u2018minutes\u2019.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
              5.1.2<\/td>\nFurther one second divided in 10 parts i.e. 1 second = 1\/10 parts. Hence time can be measured as min;sec:1\/10 parts of second.<\/p>\n

              Example: Small dial on 2 and big dial on \u00a09th<\/sup> line after crossing 10 then time can be measured as below:-<\/p>\n

              02 minutes: 10 seconds :1\/9 parts of second or 02 minutes: 10 second : 900 milli seconds.<\/p>\n

              1 Second = 1000 milli second, one line on stop watch = 100 milli seconds.<\/td>\n

              		 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
              5.1.3<\/td>\nOne key is provided on the top of the stopwatch to start and stop the counts.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
              5.1.4<\/td>\nIf\u00a0 the\u00a0 needle\u00a0 of\u00a0 both\u00a0 dials\u00a0 are\u00a0 not\u00a0 vertically\u00a0 align\u00a0 to\u00a0 \u2018ZERO\u2019\u00a0 press the key twice to bring both the dials to zero position.<\/td>\n\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
              5.1.5<\/td>\nTo start the stop watch, press the key once and the clock starts.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
              5.1.6<\/td>\nTo stop the stop watch once again press the key of the stopwatch and stop the watch.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
              5.1.7<\/td>\nTo reset the time to \u2018ZERO\u2019, press the key twice.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
