The Basic Dimensional measuring techniques (metrology) course is prepared for those who wish to learn basic principles of precision measurements. This course is designed for the entry-level personnel and inspectors. It covers a wide scope of fundamental topics in Dimensional Measurement (Metrology). The focus of this class is on basic technical terms and principles.

Consideration will also be given to:

• Calibration systems and methods
• Gauge capability (Repeatability and Reproducibility)

To enable delegates to:

• Understand and confidently use all types of measuring equipment shown below
• Complete such measurements in a practical work setting
• Interpret specifications and drawing for measurement purposes
• On passing the Measuring Techniques Course be QM&T Certificated Metrology Inspector

Inspectors, Testers, Quality Engineers & Technicians, Quality Managers, anyone who requires basic instruction in measurement.

Items covered include:

• Principles of Measurement
• Measuring Tools and Techniques associated with:
  1. International Standard of Length, 1m and the basic Metric system
  2. Length Standards and traceability
     • Gauge Blocks-most accurate, commercially available length standards (also called end standards)
  3. Selection of right measuring tools for the job
     • Tolerance specified and geometry of parts
     • Absolute Measurements as Comparison Measurements Example: Micrometers as Dial Indicators
     • Resolution (smallest reading), Accuracy and Precision
  4. Fixed, or Go/No-Go limit gauges (also called attribute gauges)
     • Application examples
  5. Micrometers; Inside, Outside, Depth, and Digital Micrometers
     • Principles of Micrometers
