| Course contents :
| Definitions and significance of several concepts (true value, errors, uncertainty...) Expression and evaluation of uncertainties according to GUM. Type A and B uncertainties. Practical examples of calculation.
Abbe principle. Traditional versus 3D Metrology. Influence parameters of measurement result (temperature, instrument, method, surroundings...). Conformity checking of a mechanical part to its design specifications. Mathematical measurement data processing. SPC (Statistical Process Control).
Practical exercises on the use of measurement instruments and their sources of uncertainties. | |
|  | | |
| Course objective :
| Uncertainties of measurement : the aim is to give - a complete information about the expression of a quality measurement result, - a reliable method (from GUM: Guide for the expression of Uncertainties in Measurement) for international comparisons of physical measurements, such weight, pressure, time...
Dimensional Metrology : the aim is to give theorical and practical knowledge in order to understand the physical meaning of a geometrical measurement result. A special attention is turned to the verification of mechanical parts (e.a. respect of tolerancies). | |
|  | | |
| Prerequisites :
| Statistical methods. Geometrical tolerancing. Technical drawing. | |
|  | | |
| Workshops :
| Exercises about metrological instruments and measuring methods : internal diameter, threading,.... Tridimensional control | |
|  | | |
