What is Metrology ?Metro - logy

from Greek 'metron' [measure], and –logy 

Meaning Measurement Science

In English, the term Metrology is often used for Linear Measurements

Quality in Manufacturing

Changing Concepts on quality and their significanceInspection ProductProcess Control ProcessQuality Assurance DesignTQM People & SystemsStrategic Quality Management Product Life

Quality covers all activities from the concept to thefinal disposal of the product.

Inspection

• Passive - Inspect - Accept - Reject• Active - Inspect - Infer - Act• Dynamic - Inspect – Act

All three modes of inspection are still practiced in industries

Tolerance and Inspection

• Wide tolerances - Passive Inspection• Medium Tolerances - Active Inspection• Close Tolerances - Dynamic Inspection

• Passive Inspection – Sampling• Active inspection – SQC• Dynamic Inspection – In-process measurement

Metrology- Applications

Why Precision Length Measurements?

Majority of manufacturing measurements deal withdimensions which are in linear units.

Though the dimensions are normally given in mms, thetolerances on these dimensions are given inmicrometers and of late even in nanometers.

All measurements are comparisons.Comparison with reference to a standard

Measurement Accuracies

Measurement accuracies should be better thanthe accuracy expected in the measured entity.As a thumb rule, the measurement accuracyshould be an order better than the measuredvalue.

Systematic and Random Errors

• Systematic errors are caused by assignable factors such as setting errors, temperature, humidity, …

• Random errors are caused by unknown sources, including human errors.

Measurement Accuracies

Take an example of a dimension:10mm + 5 mm (tolerance 10 mm)

For checking this we need an accuracy of 1 mm.That instrument is to be calibrated to 0. 1 mmThat in turn has to be calibrated to 0.01mmThat in turn has to be calibrated to 0.001mmAnd so on …………………. …..Where to stop?

Length Standards

• Basic Standards of Length – Meter ; Yard• Auxiliary Standards• Shop floor reference• Slip Gauges and accessories

• 1889 Physical

Meter Standard

• 1960 Wavelength Wavelength of Krypton- 86

was accepted to define the meter.

1 650 763.73 wavelengths in a vacuum of the radiation of krypton-86 is one Meter

(m)

Meter Standard

• 1983 In terms of time. New definition of Meter in Seconds!

Meter is the length travelled by light in

1 / 299 792 458 s.

Meter Standard

Laser Standard

It was also in 1960 that the first laser was constructed and by the mid 1970s lasers were being used as length standards. This is now realized by iodine-stabilized helium-neon lasers.

Line and End Standards

• In line standard, the distance between two lines marked on it, is the specified length.Original meter was a line standard.

• In End standard, the distance between the ends of a bar or a block is the specified distance.

• Line standards need auxiliary set ups to measure.• End stands need only simple accessories for their

applications.

Airy Points

• Definition: The best points for supporting a bar horizontally so that the end slopes become zero. If the bar is of length L and there are n supports, the supports should be separated by distance L/sqrt(n2-1). For two support this is 0.5773 L .

Support points

Traceability

For international trade there is the need toadhere to the standard scrupulously – especiallywith diminishing tolerances.

This means that all linear measurements doneare to be traceable to the standard of length –the meter.

Traceability

It is practically impossible to directly refer to the meterfor all measurements. So it is done by reference tosecondary or auxiliary standards which are calibratedwith reference to the standard meter.

Like wise all other measuring instruments are to becalibrated with secondary standards, ensuringtraceability to the meter.

ISO 9000 recommends this.

Light Interference for Precision Measurements

• Interference of light.• Optical flat.• Simple set-up for interference.• Measurement of length by comparison.• Slip gauge comparison.• Distance measurement using interference.• “Absolute” Measurement of Length. • Laser Interferometer.

Types of Fits

Hole and Shaft Basis System

Preferred Fit Families

• For hole tolerances, tolerance zones H7, H8, H9 and H11 are used preferably.

• For shaft tolerances, tolerance zones h6, h7, h9 and h11 are used preferably.

• Preferred Fits • Clearance fits: H11/c11, H9/d9, H8/f7, H7/g6, H7/h6,

C11/h11, D9/h9, F8/h7, G7/h6Transition fits: H7/k6, H7/n6, K7/h6, N7/h6Interference fits: H7/p6, H7/s6, H7/u6, P7/h6, S7/h6, U7/h6

Fundamentals of Linear Measurements

• Abbe Principle• Measuring force and Measurement• Environment• Contact and Non-contact measurement• Measurement and Sensing

Abbe Principle

• The scale of a linear measuring system should be co-linear with the spatial dimension or displacement to be measured or else the measurement must be corrected for the associated Abbé error.
