- Mission Statement
High quality products are necessary for the marketability of products. Metrology is the information acquisition for the Quality assurance. To assure a high quality production it is necessary to measure the input quality of the materials, to monitor the whole production process and to measure or check the output quality of the products. Therefore, to produce high quality products, knowledge about metrology, measurement and instrumentation is necessary.
- Content
- basic knowledge about metrology
- static and dynamic characteristics of measurement devices
- errors and uncertainties, random and systematic errors, computer aided separation of random and systematic errors
- statistical description of errors, error propagation, evaluation and presentation of series of measurements
- computer aided calibration, optimisation of calibration with the aim to reduce the number of standards
- Selected examples from the fields: mechanical and geometrical quantities, temperature, flow rate, filling level, density, humidity, analysis technologies e.g.
- Learning Outcomes
Knowledge Broadening
The students should be able to use the knowledge about metrology, measurement and Instrumentation to assure the production of high quality products or materials.
Knowledge Deepening
the students should be able to investigate calibration procedures on bais of the deep theoretical understandig of the process to improve the effectivety of the calibration process and to save standards.
Instrumental Skills and Competences
the students should be able to present, evaluate and interpret high numbers of measurement data to select important information. They should be able to estimate the degree of reliance of measurement results.
