FUNDAMENTALS OF METROLOGYCHAPTER 1


FUNDAMENTALS OF METROLOGY

Learning ObjectivesDefine the term metrologyDifferentiate between accuracy and precisionExplain the needs and functions of inspectionList the objectives of metrologyIdentify SI units and dimensionsPerform conversion of SI units



What is Metrology?Science of measurement.Concerns in correctness of measurement

Precision Accuracy

Methods and techniques of measurement based on agreed units and standards


8

Robin Hood's Merry Man missed the

bull's-eye but the 3 attempts were near

each other.

Precise but inaccurate

Stone age man missed the bull's-

eye and the 3 attempts were not near each other.

Inaccurate and imprecise (unrepeatable)

Precision vs Accuracy

Precision vs Accuracy (cont)

9

Olympic archer hits the bull's-eye 3

times!

Accurate and precise

American Indian's 3 attempts are near the bull's-eye, but

were not near each other.

Accurate but imprecise


Why is Metrology important?Standardization in tradeEliminating technical barriers in trade,

manufacturing industry, construction etc etc.Promoting awareness to Quality Assurance

What is Inspection?Formal or Official examination of products with

the use of accurate (calibrated) measuring instruments


11

To determine good or bad parts

To achieve interchangeability

To improve and develop precision measuring

instruments

Needs and Functions of Inspection

To support the manufacturing department


To determine good and bad parts1. To determine the conformance of products to

specifications or requirements – important in assisting manufacturing process and assuring of quality.

2. In industry, inspection is used for selection of products whether it can be ‘accepted’ or ‘rejected’

3. To maintain the product quality – meet customer satisfaction index



To achieve Interchangeability1. Interchangeability – products should be able

to fit and mate if chosen randomly from different manufacturers

2. Examples: Screws and threads, nuts and bolts, pipes and pressure vessels, pnuematic and hydraulics fittings/valves, etc.

3. Can be achieved by means of measuring and gauging

1. Calipers, micrometers, thickness gauge, radius gauge etc

2. Plug gauge, pin gauge, ring gauge etcGMI | Production Technology


To improve and develop precision measuring instruments1. Due to demands of high accuracy and

precision works or products2. Promote spirit of competition between

manufacturers to produce high quality precision parts



To support the manufacturing department1. Functions of inspection in manufacturing

industries Conformity of product’s appearance and functions Conformity of product’s dimensional specifications Conformity of product’s performance Providing data for product’s improvement analysis

Production process Manpower skills Material analysis Machines accuracy and maintainance


OBJECTIVES OF METROLOGY

Ensure products designed – within process spec &

measuring instrument capabilities. (products)

Determine process capabilities. (processes)

Determine the measuring instrument capabilities.

(instruments)

Reduce the cost of rejects & rework. (products)

Minimize the cost of inspection. (products)

Maintenance of the accuracy of measurement.
