Summary:

Three types of instrumentation-calibration data were used in the Apollo Program to provide the correct engineering data for tests and mission support. The command and service module instrumentation-component procurement specifications required individual-component calibration, and calibration data for these individual components (conventional-calibration data) were always used for mission data support. A mean standard type of calibration data derived from a statistical sampling of conventional-calibration data was used for test and checkout during the latter part of the Apollo Program. The lunar module instrumentation procurement specification permitted the use of standard-calibration data. These data were applicable to similarly instrumented measurements. The definition, merit, and application of each type of data are discussed.
