Introduction to Dimensional Metrology Training
Aim
To provide:
- The underpinning knowledge and expertise for anyone whose role involves the use of ‘handheld’ metrology equipment.
- The principle knowledge and practical training for people who are required to use basic measuring equipment during their daily task.
- The tools to instil and encourage questioning culture.
Enabling:
- An understanding of some of the essential metrology principles relating to the use of basic metrology equipment. Understanding tolerances, why they are so important, and the issues associated when trying to achieve conformance to specifications.
This one-day course is applicable to all industrial sectors but especially from, Manufacturing and Quality Control. It can be used to refresh knowledge, give a basic understanding or used as a building block for further courses.
