Summary
The subject is connected with lessons form the subjects:„Mathematics, Technology I, II, and Assembly Technology. The students adopt basic notions
and definitions of metrology, principles of complete measuring data
processing, the determination actual size for determination probability,
measuring methods, distance measurement, angle measuring, evaluation surface
roughness, measuring parts. The theoretical knowledge is practically verified
in the laboratory.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Expand the knowledges of metrology princeples, become acquainted with basic law document in the metrology field – law about metrology as amended by the act no. 119/2000. Expand and practically apply pieces of knowledge form check of basic parameter of mechanical compoments on concrete exercises. Statistically analyse of measured data, measurement uncertainty and measurement result.
