Measurement and Measurement System


Measurement is the operation of
determining the value of a quantity.
Measurement/instrumentation system is the
means used to carry out a measurement.
The field of measurements is rapidly
changing where new Standards, Sensors
,Requirements and Measurement systems
are continually being devised

Measurement is an act of assigning a specific value


to a physical variable detected by a sensor.
A Measurement system includes all the components
necessary for producing a measurement.

measuring systems.
Describe and perform static calibration of numerous
types of measurement devices.

Restated Course Objectives


All measurements have an associated uncertainty (which is
not always known in advance). Engineers / scientists need
to know how to assess this uncertainty.
All instruments have a finite range of application. It is
important to select the best instrument for the task at
hand. (Sensitivity, Bandwidth, Cost, Reliability)
Most real measurements involve determination of multiple
variables, each with its own associated uncertainty.
How do we assess the TOTAL measurement error?
How do we assess the probability of component failure?
