B-2. MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS - Continued.
f. Calibrate. To determine and cause corrections to be made or to be adjusted on instruments or test, measuring,
and diagnostic equipments used in precision measurement. Consists of comparisons of two instruments, one of which is
a certified standard of known accuracy, to detect and adjust any discrepancy in the accuracy or the instrument being
compared.
g. Install. The act of emplacing, seating, or fixing into position an item, part, or module (component or assembly) in
a manner to allow the proper functioning of an equipment or system.

(hours/miles, etc.) considered in classifying Army equipment/components.
