Course detail

Testing

FSI-XZKAcad. year: 2016/2017

Subject Testing introduce students with system and practical rules for working in test and calibration laboratories. Students should be able to apply the rules for measurements, testing, control and calibration. Acquired knowledge is also possible apllied for assurance of the check methods in manufacture. Systems of accreditation. Basis of test law. Quality assurance. Quality control. Procedures of testing and calibration of the measuring instruments. Validation of testing methods. Documentation of the testing results. Testing results expression. Uncertainty of measurement. Meter calibration uncertainty. Practical validation of the knowledge in testing laboratories.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

There is the subject Testing, which allow to obtain the knowledge in field of basic method of testing and calibration of measuring instruments, in field of confirmation of validity of test and calibration methods,how to express the results of measurement(test and calibration of measuring instruments) with the calculation of uncertainty, Students is led to aplly the basic methods of the measurement and the calibration, to express the results of the measurement including calculation or estimatin of the measurement.

Prerequisites

Quality management systems. Statistics, implemants for documentation of the testing results. Basic terms i metrology, technical standardization and statistic. The implements of statistical process control.

Aims

The objectives of the subject Testing is aquainted with the basic rules for management of the test and calibration laboratory as well as with outputs of the laboratories and their technical requirements. The objective of the subject is demonstrate that quality of production has to be measured. Testing and measurement is the integral part of the industrial process as the tool for verification quality.

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

The subject Testing is lectured, compensation of missing classes is not requested.
