Definition
• Metrology is the name given to the science of pure measurement.
• Engineering Metrology is restricted to measurements of length & angle
• Measurement is defined as the process of numerical evaluation of a dimension or the process of comparison with standard measuring instruments

Characteristics of Measuring Instrument
• Sensitivity
• Readability
• Range of accuracy
• Precision
![Page 32: metrology and Measurement](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012322/544eec30af7959e91e8b4e67/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Definition
• Sensitivity- Sensitivity is defined as the ratio of the
magnitude of response (output signal) to the magnitude
of the quantity being measured (input signal)
• Readability- Readability is defined as the closeness with
which the scale of the analog instrument can be read
![Page 33: metrology and Measurement](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012322/544eec30af7959e91e8b4e67/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Definition • Range of accuracy- Accuracy of a measuring
system is defined as the closeness of the
instrument output to the true value of the
measured quantity
• Precision- Precision is defined as the ability of the
instrument to reproduce a certain set of readings
within a given accuracy
![Page 34: metrology and Measurement](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012322/544eec30af7959e91e8b4e67/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Sensitivity • If the calibration curve is liner, as shown, the sensitivity
of the instrument is the slope of the calibration curve.• If the calibration curve is not linear as shown, then the
sensitivity varies with the input.
![Page 35: metrology and Measurement](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012322/544eec30af7959e91e8b4e67/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Sensitivity
This is the relationship between a change in the output reading for a given change of the input. (This relationship may be linear or non-linear.)
Sensitivity is often known as scale factor or instrument magnification and an instrument with a large sensitivity (scale factor) will indicate a large movement of the indicator for a small input change.

Readability
• Readability is defined as the ease with which
readings may be taken with an instrument.
• Readability difficulties may often occur due to
parallax errors when an observer is noting the
position of a pointer on a calibrated scale
![Page 39: metrology and Measurement](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012322/544eec30af7959e91e8b4e67/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Accuracy
• Accuracy = the extent to which a measured value agrees with a true value
• The difference between the measured value & the true value is known as ‘Error of measurement’
• Accuracy is the quality of conformity
![Page 41: metrology and Measurement](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012322/544eec30af7959e91e8b4e67/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Example: Accuracy
• Who is more accurate when measuring a book that has a true length of 17.0 cm?
A : 17.0 cm, 16.0 cm, 18.0 cm, 15.0 cm
B :: 15.5 cm, 15.0 cm, 15.2 cm, 15.3 cm

Range
• The ‘Range’ is the total range of values which
an instrument is capable of measuring.
![Page 60: metrology and Measurement](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012322/544eec30af7959e91e8b4e67/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Hysteresis
This is the algebraic difference between the average errors at corresponding points of measurement when approached from opposite directions, i.e. increasing as opposed to decreasing values of the input.
Actual/ Input Value
Measured Value Ideal
Hysteresis is caused by energy storage/ dissipation in the system.

• Measuring lag– Retardation type :Begins immediately after the
change in measured quantity– Time delay lag : Begins after a dead time after the
application of the input
• Fidelity- The degree to which a measurement system indicates changes in the measured quantity without error
• Dynamic error- Difference between the true value of the quantity changing with time & the value indicated by the measurement system

Errors in Instruments
• Error = True value – Measured value
or
• Error = Measured value - True value

Types of Errors
• Error of Measurement
• Instrumental error
• Error of observation
• Based on nature of errors
• Based on control
![Page 71: metrology and Measurement](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012322/544eec30af7959e91e8b4e67/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Error of Measurement
• Systematic error -Predictable way in
accordance due to conditions change
• Random error - Unpredictable manner
• Parasitic error - Incorrect execution of
measurement

Instrumental error
• Error of a physical measure
• Error of a measuring mechanism
• Error of indication of a measuring instrument
• Error due to temperature
• Error due to friction
• Error due to inertia

Error of observation
• Reading error
• Parallax error
• Interpolation error
![Page 74: metrology and Measurement](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012322/544eec30af7959e91e8b4e67/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Nature of Errors
• Systematic error
• Random error
![Page 75: metrology and Measurement](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012322/544eec30af7959e91e8b4e67/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Based on control
• Controllable errors– Calibration errors – Environmental (Ambient /Atmospheric Condition)
Errors – Stylus pressure errors – Avoidable errors
• Non - Controllable errors
![Page 76: metrology and Measurement](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012322/544eec30af7959e91e8b4e67/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Correction
• Correction is defined as a value which is added algebraically to the uncorrected result of the measurement to compensate to an assumed systematic error.
• Ex : Vernier Caliper, Micrometer

Calibration
• Calibration is the process of determining and adjusting an instruments accuracy to make sure its accuracy is with in manufacturing specifications.
![Page 78: metrology and Measurement](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012322/544eec30af7959e91e8b4e67/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Interchangeability
• A part which can be substituted for the component manufactured to the small shape and dimensions is known a interchangeable part.
• The operation of substituting the part for similar manufactured components of the shape and dimensions is known as interchangeability.
