Metrology

Metrology is the science of measurement

Dimensional metrology is that branch of
Metrology which deals with measurement of
dimensions of a part or workpiece (lengths,
angles, etc.)
Dimensional measurements at the required
level of accuracy are the essential link
between the designers intent and a delivered
product.
