What is Metrology?
Metrology– “The science of Measurement”- is the description of the process to establish weights
and measures as the basis for accurate measurements worldwide.
Metrology is divided into three basic overlapping activities:
- The definition of units of measurement
- The realization of these units of measurement in practice
- Traceability—linking measurements made in practice to the reference standards
Basic sub-fields of metrology
- Scientific metrology- concerned with the establishment of units of measurement.
- Industrial metrology- the application of measurement to manufacturing and other
processes in society. - Legal metrology- covering the regulation and statutory requirements for measuring
instruments and methods of measurement.
