Performing in-line test, measurement and inspection in an automated, production environment requires a fast, accurate and robust system that can withstand the environmental challenges found on the factory floor.
For information on Metrology, the science of measurement, or calibration, a set of graduations to indicate values or positions, turn to the Internet. This month's Web site review looks at metrology and calibration related sites.
If it were possible to travel back in time a few years and ask people working in the quality field about measurement uncertainty and accreditation, the response would be blank stares and puzzled faces.
The results of calibration and other laboratory testing performed by an accredited laboratory in one country will be accepted by an accredited laboratory in another country under a new international arrangement that may open up, or ease entry, of goods into international markets while reducing test and retest costs.
Got a metrology, reliability, engineering or quality-related question that you need answered? Visiting one of the four forums listed in this month's Web site review may help you find the answer.
