Precision vs Accuracy

Inaccurate and imprecise (unrepeatable)

missed the bull's-
eye and the 3
attempts were not
near each other.

Precise but inaccurate

bull's-eye but the 3
attempts were near
each other.

FUNDAMENTALS OF METROLOGY
Why is Metrology important?
Standardization in trade
Eliminating technical barriers in trade, manufacturing
industry, construction etc etc.
Promoting awareness to Quality Assurance

What is Inspection?
Formal or Official examination of products with the use
of accurate (calibrated) measuring instruments

GMI | Production Technology


Needs and Functions of Inspection

To achieve
interchangeability
To determine
good or bad parts

To support the
To improve and develop
manufacturing department
precision measuring
instruments

11
FUNDAMENTALS OF METROLOGY
To determine good and bad parts
1. To determine the conformance of products to
specifications or requirements – important in assisting
manufacturing process and assuring of quality.
2. In industry, inspection is used for selection of
products whether it can be ‘accepted’ or ‘rejected’
3. To maintain the product quality – meet customer
satisfaction index

GMI | Production Technology


FUNDAMENTALS OF METROLOGY
To achieve Interchangeability
1. Interchangeability – products should be able to fit and
mate if chosen randomly from different manufacturers
2. Examples: Screws and threads, nuts and bolts, pipes
and pressure vessels, pnuematic and hydraulics
fittings/valves, etc.
3. Can be achieved by means of measuring and gauging
1. Calipers, micrometers, thickness gauge, radius gauge etc
2. Plug gauge, pin gauge, ring gauge etc

GMI | Production Technology


FUNDAMENTALS OF METROLOGY
To improve and develop precision measuring
instruments
1. Due to demands of high accuracy and precision works
or products
2. Promote spirit of competition between manufacturers
to produce high quality precision parts

GMI | Production Technology


FUNDAMENTALS OF METROLOGY
To support the manufacturing department
1. Functions of inspection in manufacturing industries
 Conformity of product’s appearance and functions
 Conformity of product’s dimensional specifications
 Conformity of product’s performance
 Providing data for product’s improvement analysis
 Production process
 Manpower skills
 Material analysis
 Machines accuracy and maintainance

Principles of Metrology
Fundamentals Units and standards
International System of Units (SI)
- established in 1960
- by CGPM (General Conference of Weight and
Measures)
- e.g : Force Newton N (kgm/s2)
 advantages of coherency of SI units.
 same system & units of measurement
regardless of industries
 minimum of conversion factors
