This content collection breaks down the basics of the measurement process and provides tips and tricks for measuring with common devices such as dial indicators, comparator gages and profile systems. You’ll learn the best use cases for several types of measurement devices, explore how to set up these devices for optimal use, and discover how to read and interpret data.
“Metrology is the science of measurement aimed to establish a common understanding,” according to George Schuetz, director of precision gages at Mahr Inc. It includes not only the act of taking measurements, but also the process of developing common standards and calibrating measurement devices to these standards. Different types of measurements (diameter, surface roughness and squareness, for example) require different, specialized devices — the accuracy of which can vary widely depending on everything from temperature to user judgment.
