metrology education resources

EmilySue
Hi everyone!

Last week, I stumbled on an extremely helpful link to some educational materials at NPL, which is a British organization. I wondered if everyone might be willing to share other resources for general metrology education resources? I'm tentatively putting together and orientation and evaluation for new operators at our place and would LOVE to have videos and papers for them to review if we find areas where they need to improve. It would be ideal if these materials were based in English measurement, not metric, since we measure in inches in our shop.

I'll start!

Hexagon Metrology U - mainly for learning things about our CMMs: https://www.hexagonmetrologyu.com/Default.asp?

National Public Laboratory - papers and guides for CMM and metrology: http://www.npl.co.uk/publications/guides/

Mitutoyo online educational materials - papers and guides explaining how precision measurement tools work and how to use them: http://www.mitutoyo.com/on-demand/

Hope this turns out helpful for everyone!

  • If you need a book to help in inspecting GD&T, the only one that I'm aware of is "Measuring & Gaging Geometric Tolerances" by Gary K. Griffith.

    He gives a easy to understand definition of the characteristic along with good instructions / photos of surface plate setups. Understanding how to inspect a GD&T tolerance on a surface plate helps when writing a CMM program to do it. Just have to think how you would do it on a plate and then do the same thing on the CMM.

    Got a early edition of this book 20 some odd years ago and it has helped me out a lot in my understanding and in teaching others.

    ASQ press used to carry it. Prentice Hall may also have it as well. Amazon may also carry it.
