Summary
The subject belongs to a group of professional courses, which links to articles mathematics and statistic. Students will learn the basic terminology in metrology, fundamental principles of measurement, basics of data processing. Develops in-depth methodology for measuring length, plane angle, surface roughness evaluation, control selected parameters of machine parts. Theoretical findings are verified in practical exercises in the laboratory.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Develop knowledge of the fundamentals of metrology, to meet the basic legal document in the field of Metrology - Metrology Act, as amended by Act No. 119/2000. Develop and apply knowledge from the baseline parameters of machine parts on specific tasks. Statistically evaluate the measured data - express the uncertainty of measurement, the measurement result. Read workshop drawings of machine parts from control perspective.
