Description
This module explores the role of metrology in modern manufacturing and the management and control of measurement systems. It covers all aspects of measurement management from interpretation of specifications, determination of metrological and calibration requirements to evaluation and ongoing calibration and maintenance.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Specify suitable measurement instruments and standards.
2.
Describe the International System of Units (SI) and the seven base units
3.
Identify the essential components of metrology traceability
4.
Recognise various national and international organisations from which we get many metrology references, resources and standards
5.
Describe and define measurement assurance philosophy
6.
Explain the concepts of measurement and metrology
