Fundamentals of Dimensional Metrology
Program Description
The system of measurements we use today insures that components from various manufacturers can be produced in factories thousands of miles apart - yet still be assembled into working devices. This system relies on the acceptance of primary standards such as the yard and meter and the use of these standards by all who wish to share components.
WPI's Fundamentals of Dimensional Metrology Workshop presents the measuring tools used in manufacturing today and describes their proper use and level of accuracy. This practical program features a series of hands-on measurement workshops where standard component dimensions will be measured with various tools (including steel rules, micrometers, vernier calipers, dial indicators, squares, protractors, calipers, screw pitch gauges, etc.) to aid in understanding the individual accuracy of each tool.
By the end of this one-day program, you will have learned how to apply basic measuring principles and techniques, how to choose the optimum measuring instrument, about the accuracy of specific instruments, and about the critical role of error in any measurement system. Attendees recieve a copy of Measuring and Gaging in the Machine Shop.
