Level 3
Introduction to Dimensional Metrology
Course Outline
|
|
Course Objective
|
To provide hands on insight to fundamental
measurement error sources and to learn how to use shop level
measurement equipment. To provide insight on how to test the
calibration on instruments using precision artifacts to ensure
gages do not drift from their original calibration and induce an
undesirable bias. Students will also be introduced to how to
analyze the repeatability and reproducibility of measurement
instruments (GR&R).

In each subject group an overview of the tools is followed by a
demonstration of best application practices and a discussion of
calibration issues and measurement uncertainty factors. Each
subject session is concluded with a hands-on lab activity. When
practical, customer parts will be utilized during this seminar
to provide the greatest understanding of measurement technology
applicable to customer parts. |
|
Targeted Audience
|
Anyone requiring a foundational understanding of measurement
systems used for measuring mechanical components and assemblies.
Specifiers and decision makers of engineering requirements and
specifications as well as specifiers of manufacturing processes
and measurement applications and anyone doing statistical
analysis of design, manufacturing or measurement data.
Engineers, designers, metrologists, technicians, machinists,
toolmakers, designers, senior inspectors, senior technicians,
statisticians and mechanical engineers at all levels.

|
Prerequisites
|
“GD&T Intermediate Principles” An interpretation level knowledge
of GD&T is required to allow all participants to be successful
in this class. If students do not have this level of competency
they will not understand “why” measurements are being taken a
particular way.
