Inhaltsangabe

Metrology and Instrumentation: Practical Applications for Engineering and Manufacturing provides students and professionals with an accessible foundation in the metrology techniques, instruments, and governing standards used in mechanical engineering and manufacturing. The book opens with an overview of metrology units and scale, then moves on to explain topics such as sources of error, calibration systems, uncertainty, and dimensional, mechanical, and thermodynamic measurement systems. A chapter on tolerance stack-ups covers GD&T, ASME Y14.5-2018, and the ISO standard for general tolerances, while a chapter on digital measurements connects metrology to newer, Industry 4.0 applications.

Metrology and Instrumentation

A comprehensive introduction and exploration of fundamental concepts in metrology and their industrial and manufacturing applications

In Metrology and Instrumentation: Practical Applications for Engineering and Manufacturing, distinguished engineer Dr. Samir Mekid delivers an accessible foundation in the metrology techniques, instruments, and governing standards used in mechanical engineering and manufacturing. The book offers readers an overview of metrology units and scale before moving on to explain topics like the sources of error, calibration systems, uncertainty, and dimensional, mechanical, and thermodynamic measurement systems.

A comprehensive chapter on tolerance stack-ups covers GD&T, ASME Y14.5-2018, and the ISO standard for general tolerances and a chapter on digital measurements demonstrates the connection between metrology and cutting-edge Industry 4.0 applications.

The book offers hundreds of multiple-choice questions and open-ended problems designed to help students and readers retain the information contained within, while instructors can access a corresponding online solutions manual.

Metrology and Instrumentation also includes:

• A thorough introduction to the fundamental units and constants in metrology, including base and derived SI units, SI conversions, fundamental constants, and common measurements
• Comprehensive explorations of the scales of metrology, including nano-metrology, micro-metrology, standard size metrology, and large-scale metrology, as well as applied math and statistics in metrology
• Practical discussions of errors and their sources, including the definition and types of errors and error measurement, the propagation of errors, and the classification of errors
• Includes an additional appendix on mobile phone apps related to Metrology (38 apps) to be used by students for easy access
• In-depth examinations of measurement systems, including measurement data and statistical analysis, measurement characteristics, CNC machine and CMM calibration, and the principles and practices of traceability

Perfect for professional mechanical, industrial, and manufacturing engineers, Metrology and Instrumentation: Practical Applications for Engineering and Manufacturing is also a must-read reference for technicians in similar fields, as well as students and professors in metrology courses.
