    Presentation Introduction To Metrology

    Uploaded by

    Mark Vincent Jayson Baliña
    Metrology is the science of measurement and its application. It establishes a common understanding of units and increases knowledge to protect people and enable industries. Before metrology, there was no exact measurement. The history of feet involved measuring based on the king's foot. In 1875, the Meter Convention formed to coordinate international metrology. Key metrology terms include measurement, calibration, adjustment, verification, validation, accuracy, precision, and traceability. Calibration is important as required by law to prohibit using uncalibrated measuring equipment in commerce. Local governments have authority to monitor equipment and charge sealing/licensing fees.

    Introduction to

    METROLOGY
    Understanding about Metrology

    Metrology Terminologies
    Metrology is the

    “science of measurement and


    its application”
    Metrology

    establishes a common
    understanding of units
    Metrology

    increases knowledge, protects people,


    governs transaction, enables our
    industries to be innovating and
    competitive
    before Metrology

    there is no exact measurement


    history of Feet

    feet was based a marble copy of the king’s foot


    on the king’s foot was basis of measurement
    history of Feet

    “stand at the door of a church on a Sunday and bid 16


    men to stop, tall ones and small ones, as they happen
    to pass out when the service is finished; then make
    them put their left feet one behind the other, and the
    length thus obtained shall be a right and lawful rood
    to measure and survey the land with, and the 16th
    part of it shall be the right and lawful foot” -
    Geometrei. Von künstlichem Feldmessen und absehen
    (16th cent)
    realization of Metrology

    on May 20, 1875,


    Meter Convention was formed
    to coordinate international
    metrology and for coordinating
    the development of the metric
    system
    International System of Units (SI)

    is the modern form of the


    metric system, and is the most
    widely used system of
    measurement
    Metrology Terminologies
    Measurement is

    process of experimentally
    obtaining one or more
    quantity values that can
    reasonably be attributed
    to a quantity
    Calibration is

    operation that, under specified conditions, in


    a first step, establishes a relation between the
    quantity values with measurement
    uncertainties provided by measurement
    standards and corresponding indications with
    associated measurement uncertainties and, in
    a second step, uses this information to
    establish a relation for obtaining a
    measurement result from an indication
    Adjustment is

    set of operations carried out on


    a measuring system so that it
    provides prescribed indications
    corresponding to given values
    of a quantity to be measured
    Verification is

    provision of objective evidence


    that a given item fulfils
    specified requirements
    Validation is

    verification, where the


    specified requirements are
    adequate for an intended use
    Accuracy is

    closeness of agreement
    between a measured quantity
    value and a true quantity value
    of a measurand
    Precision is

    closeness of agreement between


    indications or measured quantity
    values obtained by replicate
    measurements on the same or
    similar objects under specified
    conditions
    Accuracy vs Precision

    2
    Accuracy vs Precision
    Traceability is

    property of a measurement result


    whereby the result can be related
    to a reference through a
    documented unbroken chain of
    calibrations, each contributing to
    the measurement uncertainty
    Traceability example
    Company A Company A Company A
    NMI A LAB A Standard Equipment Product

    SI Unit
    of Length Result

    NMI B LAB B Company B Company B Company B


    Standard Equipment Product
    National Metrology Institute

    have the responsibility of


    maintaining national measurement
    standards and disseminating the
    international System of Units
    nationally
    why calibrate?

    section 16 of RA 9236 prohibits


    anyone to use measuring
    equipment in commerce that are
    not calibrated or gives
    inappropriate results
    why calibrate?

    RA 9236 gives authority to the LGU


    to monitor and/or confiscate
    measuring equipment used in
    commerce that are not calibrated
    or gives inappropriate results
    why calibrate?

    RA 7160 gives the LGU the power


    to charge fees on sealing and
    licensing of weights and measures
    (Section 148)
    Section 148 of RA 7160

    The sangguniang bayan shall prescribe the necessary regulations for the use of such
    weights and measures, subject to such guidelines as shall be prescribed by the
    Department of Science and Technology. The sanggunian concerned shall, by
    appropriate ordinance, penalize fraudulent practices and unlawful possession or use
    of instruments of weights and measures and prescribe the criminal penalty therefor in
    accordance with the provisions of this Code. Provided, however, that the sanggunian
    concerned may authorize the municipal treasurer to settle an offense not involving the
    commission of fraud before a case therefor is filed in court, upon payment of a
    compromise penalty of not less than Two hundred pesos (P200.00).
