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!

  • NOT to get a rant going on the GD&T and maybe should be a seperate post ?. Tons of resources out there on GD&T. Some are more dry than others..... No matter what you use for reference just remember,every book out other than the ISO and ASME specs are truly REF ONLY ! Don't be that guy and cite your book "GD&T for those you cant spell GD&T" as meaning anything other than REF only. I don't care how great the explanation is or how close the picture example shown is similar to the part you are working on. If its not in the 2 standards cited, it will not hold up in court.
