Course detail

Industrial Metrology

FSI-DPM-KAcad. year: 2024/2025

The course familiarizes the students with measuring devices and their applications. Attention is paid to metrological confirmation in production processes. Emphasis is placed on dimensional metrology, metrology of geometric tolerancing and texture of functional surfaces. Students will also master the basic methods of evaluating conformance to specifications in the ISO GPS system.

Entry knowledge

Knowledge of engineering technologies. Basic knowledge on structure and properties of materials. Principles and SI units for geometrical quantities metrology (physics).

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Condition of course-unit credit award: presence in seminars, correct elaboration of laboratory assignment and active participation in its processing.
Exam: both written and oral, tests the knowledge of basic measurement methods, mainly their application on practical examples. It is graded on the ECTS grading scale.
Attendance in lectures is recommended. Attendance in exercises is compulsory. In case of regularly apologized student’s absence in the laboratory practice, the student may attend the laboratory practice together with other student team if agreed with the lecturer, or again in case of an apologized absence to participate in the alternative laboratory practice at the end of the semester.

Aims

The objective of the course is to familiarize the students with the basic methods of measurement and with their creative application in individual technologies. Special attention is paid to practical use, sensitivity of individual methods considering their application in quality control and application of ISO standards.
The course allows the students to obtain knowledge on some basic measurement methods applicable in individual technologies. Students learn to solve and perform practical applications in service conditions.
