CHAP (35) 35 Engr Metrology & Instrumentation

Engineering metrology involves the measurement of dimensions and geometric features of manufactured parts using various instruments. It is used for both in-process and post-process inspection to ensure dimensional tolerances are met. Some common measurement instruments include micrometers, calipers, gage blocks, indicators, and coordinate measuring machines. Dimensional tolerancing and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing are important aspects of engineering metrology that help specify variability in dimensions and geometry to control the function and fit of parts.

 Engineering metrology-measurement of  Measurement Standards
dimensions: length, thickness, diameter, taper  Linear measure-inch, foot, yard, meter
angle, flatness, profiles, and others.  Standards kept by governments;
 Post-process inspection meter=1,650763.73 wavelengths Kr.
 In-process inspection  Sensitivity-also called resolution, is the smallest
difference in dimensions that the instrument can
 Dimensional tolerance detect or distinguish.
 Precision-the degree to which the instrument
gives repeated measurements of the same
standard.
