DIMENSIONAL METROLOGY AND UNCERTAINTY COMPUTATION APPLICATION

Description. This course provides the participants the knowledge and skills in dimensional metrology with an understanding of the requirements of the ISO Guide to The Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement which defines methodologies to calculate uncertainty.

Objectives.  At the end of the course, the participants will be able to:
    * Recognize the importance of calibration to the industry;
    * Perform calibration of basic length measuring instruments in
       accordance with internationally accepted standards; and
    * Understand and compute for the uncertainty of measurement in length
       calibration based on NATA Assessment of Uncertainties of
       Measurement (with reference to ISO - GUM)

Methodology. This three-day seminar will make use of lecture-discussion, demonstration, hands-on and practical exercises.

Who should attend. This course is intended for engineers and those with related experience.
