Course detail

Engineering Metrology I

FSI-6SMAcad. year: 2015/2016

Subject “Engineering Metrology I” acquaints students with the principles of metrology in the Czech Republic, EU and worldwide. The main accent is placed on teaching the principles of design, function and practical aspects of measurement in industrial and related production. Special attention is given to the measurement of length, surface texture parameters, metrological parameters of selected engineering products, and geometric parameters accuracy. In the next part of the course, emphasis is placed on methods and technical tools for measurement of pressure, temperature, vibration, noise, technical parameters of liquids and gases, flow and level in industrial practice.

Aims

The aim of this course (Engineering Metrology I) is to familiarize students with the principles of design, function and use of basic kinds of measuring tools in industrial practice. A special attention is paid to the practical needs of the metrological activities for quality control of production.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

In case of regularly apologized student’s absence in the laboratory practice, the student may attend the laboratory practice together with other student team if agreed with the lecturer, or again in case of an apologized absence to participate in the alternative laboratory practice at the end of the semester.
