General Philosophy of Metrology
Metrology is the science of measurement. Metrology is important to at all
stages of manufacturing, from research and design to the quality of the
finished product. This is because
-
Metrology can help guarantee the precision and quality of a widening range
of products and production processes.
-
Stringent requirements for precision-driven work such as weapons component
manufacturing need corresponding measurement science and technology which
can provide accurate measurement of various parameters and characteristics.
-
As the manufacturing industries become players on a global scale, advanced
metrology can enhance competitive capacity of manufacturing industries.
