This measurement & gaging program begins with an introduction to the core concepts regarding measurement. These concepts include: precision, resolution, accuracy, repeatability and reproducibility. Standards are then addressed, featuring sections on gage blocks and surface plates. This program then focuses on the array of measurement & gaging tools, arranging them into three categories: non-graduated measurement & gaging tools, graduated measurement & gaging tools, and advanced measurement & gaging tools. The non-graduated measurement & gaging tools section features tools and gages that are used to transfer measurements to or from graduated measurement tools, or as pass/fail comparisons to standards. The graduated measurement & gaging tools section highlights the use of tools, such as vernier calipers, micrometers, and tools using dial indicators and electronic digital readouts. The advanced measurement & gaging tools section focuses on optical measurement projectors, vision systems and coordinate measurement machines.
