MEGR 3280: Metrology Fundamentals Laboratory

University of North Carolina, Charlotte

Introductory metrology concepts and their practical use in industrial settings and precision engineering applications via laboratory work. Basic concepts of calibration and traceability. Laboratory work will focus on the regimes of size, form, angle, and surface texture. Handheld metrology instruments, surface plate work (using common reference artifacts and comparative measurements), and hard gaging. Specification of surface texture profile parameters and verification using profilometry measurements.
