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.
