INDUSTRIAL CALIBRATION (Mass, Temperature, Pressure, and Length)

Description:
   
 This course provides the participants with knowledge and skill in mass, temperature, length and pressure measurement and calibration.

Course Objectives:
     At the end of the seminar/workshop, the participants shall be able to:
          * Explain the proper calibration practices;
          * Explain the principles on the calibration of mass, temperature,
             pressure and length measuring instruments;
          * Recognize the importance of calibration in the industry; and
          * Perform calibration of basic length measuring instruments in
            accordance with internationally accepted standard.

Instruction Methods:
         
* Lecture-discussion
          * Demonstration/Exercises (Mass and Length Calibration only)

Who Should Attend:
   
This seminar is ideal for anyone interested in gaining or refining technical skills related to performing mass, temperature pressure and length calibrations or maintaining a quality assurance program. Metrologists, laboratory and quality assurance technicians, supervisors, and engineers should attend.
