Course detail

Practical Metrology

FSI-XPT-KAcad. year: 2016/2017

This course discusses metrology in the Czech Republic, EU and in the World. Students are familiarized with the measurement principles, geometrical measurement. They obtain knowledge on measurement evaluation, measurement tools for geometrical measurement and evaluation of surface texture. Special attention is paid to 3D measurement and software support of metrological processes.
