Geometrical Dimensioning and Tolerancing

This training course allows participants to recognize the technicalities of calibration and metrology, and appreciate the basic ISO 9000 requirements on equipment and instrument calibrations. Registration and Course Introduction Introduction, Fields, Specialist Areas and Types of Metrology Definition and Type of Measurements SI Base and Coherent Units Is Calibration =  Adjustment = Verification ? Reference Standards and Reference Materials Calibration Frequency Elements of an Equipment Calibration System Traceability in Calibration Consideration of Calibration Conditions Typical Measurement Equipment Errors and their Corrections Characteristics of a Calibration Specialist Accuracy, Tolerance, Specification and Deviation Understanding of Full / Partial / Conditional Calibrations Accreditation Scheme – SAC-SINGLAS & ISO17025:2005 Approved Signatory Consideration of Sub-Contracting Jobs About the Endorsed and Non-Endorsed Calibrations Introduction to Measurement Uncertainty – Expanded Uncertainty and Coverage Factor based on SAC-SINGLAS Technical Guide 1, 2nd Edition   Calibration is a protracted work related to maintenance. It must be regularly undertaken on every field instrument in order to ensure smooth functioning and adhere to any regulations. Almost all calibration laboratories' quality systems fulfill the standards set by ISO/IEC 17025:2005, and include all functions that have an impact on the attribute of the 17025 calibration service, like equipment, personnel, calibration procedures and reporting. An integral part of establishing traceability is evaluation of measurement uncertainty.   Metrology (from greek 'metron' (measure), and -logy) is the science of measurement. Metrology includes all theoretical and practical aspects of measurement, including precision calibration and inspection. It can involve cmm or Coordinate Measurement Machines. Traceability is most often obtained by calibration, establishing the relation between the indication of a measuring instrument and the value of a measurement standard.
