1. Metrology Basics

                                              L : 1 Metrology Basics


Learning Objectives :


  • To understand the basics of Metrology & calculate the least count of measuring instruments.
  • To understand various standards, comparators, gauge selection and limit system. 


Introduction :

 Metrology :
Metrology is the science of measurement. Metrology is primarily
concerned with the establishment, reproduction, conservation and transfer of units of 
measurement and their standards.
Necessity Of metrology: 
1. Metrology can be used for selection of proper measuring instrument in 
industries.
2. Metrology can be used for deciding the proper measuring standards.
3. Metrology can be used for minimizing cost of inspection.
4. Metrology can be used for determining process capabilities.
5. Metrology can be used for deciding or finding out tolerances.
6. Metrology can be used for maintaining accuracy and precision at the time of 
inspection.
