SERVING THE WORLD OF MEASUREMENT
Space Station, Satellites….
• Precision Tolerance
• Standards Errors
• Calibration Uncertainty
Metrology is mainly concerned with:
(1) Establishing the units of measurements,
ensuring the uniformity of measurements.
(2) Developing methods of measurement.
(3) Errors of measurement.
(4) Accuracy of measuring instruments and
their care.
(5) Industrial inspection and its various
techniques
Necessity and importance of Metrology
• In design, design engineer should not only check his
design from the point of view of the strength or
economical production, but he should also keep in
mind how the dimensions specified can be checked
or measured.
• Higher productivity and accuracy can be achieved by
properly understood, introduced the Metrology.
• You can improve the measuring accuracy and
dimensional and geometrical accuracies of the
product.
• Proper gauges should be designed and used
for rapid and effective inspection.
• Also automation and automatic control, which
are the modern trends for future
developments, are based on measurement.
Digital instruments also can be used for
inspection.
Quality control -
Metrology as a means to achieve
STAGES OF INSPECTION
• Inspection of incoming material – Raw materials and
consumables.
• Inspection of production process – Stage inspection during
process
• Inspection of finished goods – Final inspection after completion of
all the processes.
TYPES OF INSPECTIONS
• View room inspection
• Floor inspection
• Patrol inspection
• Line or assembly inspection
• Field inspection
• First off inspection
• Trial run inspection
• Working inspection & key inspection
VIEW ROOM INSPETION
• Accurate measurements
DISADVANTAGES:
• Advantages:
• Corrective action immediately
• Suitable for heavy & light job
• Material handling is reduced
Disadvantages:
• Operations are disturbed
• Precision instruments are not properly used
• Record maintenance is difficult
PATROL INSPECTION
LINE INSPECTION
• Inspection is done in an assembly line or production line
between the machines
• Correct each defects before going to next machines.
FIELD INSPECTION
KEY INSPECTION
• This is also called as key point inspection
• Costly & important operations called key operation.
• Only the product is at right the key operation is carried out.
NEED OF INSPECTION
• To improve the quality of product
• To achieve effective work time
• To improve mass production
• To reduce the cycle time of production
• To avoid accidents
• To reduce the material wastages
• To reduce defects
OBJECTIVES OF METROLOGY
The basic objective of a measurement is to provide the required accuracy at
minimum cost, Metrology has further objectives as follows
“Calibration
is the comparing of an unknown
measurement device against equal or better
known standard under specified conditions”
35
Calibration
FUNDAMENTAL MEASUREMENT
Based on the measurements of base quantities entering into the
definition of the quantity.
MEASUREMENT BY COMPARISON
Based on the comparison of the value of a quantity to be
measured with a known value of the same quantity (direct
comparison), or a known value of another quantity which is a
function of the quantity to be measured (indirect comparison).
MEASUREMENT BY SUBSTITUTION
Susan:
17.0 cm, 16.0 cm, 18.0 cm, 15.0 cm
Amy:::
15.5 cm, 15.0 cm, 15.2 cm, 15.3 cm
Example: Precision
Who is more precise when measuring the same 17.0
cm book?
Susan
17.0 cm, 16.0 cm, 18.0 cm, 15.0 cm
