Measurement uncertainties and dimensional metrology


Duration :30h Th, 30h Pr
Credits/ECTS :
5th year of the 5 year degree in civil engineering in electromechanics (mecatronics - productics)5
5th year of the 5 year degree in civil engineering in electromechanics (mechanics)5
Holder(s) :Liviu Masalar
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
Organization : from october to december
