Chapter 1 Introduction of Metrology

Metrology is the science of measurement and its application. It has three subfields: scientific metrology which establishes measurement standards and units; applied metrology which ensures suitable measurements in manufacturing; and legal metrology which regulates measurements for public protection. Metrology is important for manufacturing accuracy and consumer and public confidence. Instruments must be periodically calibrated against more accurate standards to ensure measurement accuracy in manufacturing. The two main measurement systems are the English system based on inches and the metric system based on meters, with millimeters most common in machining.

CHAPTER 1 :

BASIC
PRINCIPLES OF
METROLOGY
INTRODUCTION OF METROLOGY

Metrology is of fundamental importance in industry and


trade – not only from the point of view of the consumer
but also for those involved in manufacturing. Both groups
must have confidence in the accuracy and reliability of
the measurements upon which they depend. Within the
manufacturing process, to ensure the accuracy of
measuring instruments, it is essential that they should be
periodically calibrated against more accurate
standards.
Metrology is a very broad field and may be
divided into three subfields:
(i) Scientific or fundamental metrology
concerns the establishment of
measurement units, unit systems, the
development of new measurement
methods, realization of measurement
standards and the transfer of traceability
from these standards to users in society.
(ii) Applied or industrial metrology concerns
the application of measurement science to
manufacturing and other processes and
their use in society, ensuring the suitability of
measurement instruments, their calibration
and quality control of measurements.
(iii) Legal metrology concerns regulatory
requirements of measurements and
measuring instruments for the protection of
health, public safety, the environment,
enabling taxation, protection of consumers
and fair trade.
Basic units measurement system
(i) The English system (inches)

That system of measurement is based on


the inch. When dealing with inches in the
machining industry, fractional and decimal
measurement and math are both very
common
(ii) The Metric System Or SI

The meter is the basic unit used in the


metric system of measurement, but the
millimeter is most commonly used in the
machining industry
