Definition
• Metrology is the name given to the science of pure measurement.
• Engineering Metrology is restricted to measurements of length & angle
• Measurement is defined as the process of numerical evaluation of a dimension or the process of comparison with standard measuring instruments
Need of Measurement
• Establish standard• Interchangeability• Customer Satisfaction • Validate the design • Physical parameter into meaningful number• True dimension • Evaluate the Performance
Methods of Measurement
• Direct method • Indirect method • Comparative method • Coincidence method • Contact method • Deflection method• Complementary method
Indirect method
• Obtained by measuring other quantities– Ex : Weight = Length x Breadth x Height x Density
Coincidence method
• Measurements coincide with certain lines and signals
Fundamental method
• Measuring a quantity directly in related with the definition of that quantity
Contact method
• Sensor/Measuring tip touch the surface area
Complementary method
• The value of quantity to be measured is combined with known value of the same quantity– Ex:Volume determination by liquid displacement
Deflection method
• The value to be measured is directly indicated by a deflection of pointer– Ex: Pressure Measurement

Measuring Instruments
• Deflection and null type instruments • Analog and digital instruments• Active and passive instruments• Automatic and manually operated
instruments • Contacting and non contacting instruments• Absolute and secondary instruments• Intelligent instruments.
DEFLECTION AND NULL TYPE• Physical effect generated by the measuring
quantity• Equivalent opposing effect to nullify the physical
effect caused by the quantity
ANALOG AND DIGITAL INSTRUMENTS
• Physical variables of interest in the form of continuous or stepless variations
• Physical variables are represented by digital quantities
ACTIVE AND PASSIVE INSTRUMENTS
• Instruments are those that require some source of auxiliary power
• The energy requirements of the instruments are met entirely from the input signal
Automatic and manually operated• Manually operated – requires the service of
human operator• Automated – doesn't requires human
operator
Contacting And Non Contacting Instruments
• A contacting with measuring medium• Measure the desired input even though they
are not in close contact with the measuring medium
Absolute and Secondary Instruments
• These instruments give the value of the electrical quantity in terms of absolute quantities
• Deflection of the instruments can read directly
Definition
• Sensitivity- Sensitivity is defined as the ratio of
the magnitude of response (output signal) to the
magnitude of the quantity being measured
(input signal)
• Readability- Readability is defined as the
closeness with which the scale of the analog
instrument can be read
Definition
• Range of accuracy- Accuracy of a measuring
system is defined as the closeness of the
instrument output to the true value of the
measured quantity
• Precision- Precision is defined as the ability of the
instrument to reproduce a certain set of readings
within a given accuracy
Sensitivity • If the calibration curve is liner, as shown, the sensitivity
of the instrument is the slope of the calibration curve.• If the calibration curve is not linear as shown, then the
sensitivity varies with the input.
Sensitivity
This is the relationship between a change in the output reading for a given change of the input. (This relationship may be linear or non-linear.)
Sensitivity is often known as scale factor or instrument magnification and an instrument with a large sensitivity (scale factor) will indicate a large movement of the indicator for a small input change.

Block Diagram:
Example
(1) A 0.01 Ω/A meter with 5 A fsd, Rm = Ω/A x A
= 0.01 x 5 = 0.05 Ω Vmax across the Meter will be
= 5 A x 0.05 Ω = 0.25 V for fsd.
(2) A 0.1 Ω/A meter with 5 A fsd,will drop 2.5 V (i.e., it is 10 times less sensitive), which may bias the results
Readability
• Readability is defined as the ease with which
readings may be taken with an instrument.
• Readability difficulties may often occur due to
parallax errors when an observer is noting the
position of a pointer on a calibrated scale
Accuracy
• Accuracy = the extent to which a measured value agrees with a true value
• The difference between the measured value & the true value is known as ‘Error of measurement’
• Accuracy is the quality of conformity
Example: Accuracy
• Who is more accurate when measuring a book that has a true length of 17.0 cm?
A :
17.0 cm, 16.0 cm, 18.0 cm, 15.0 cm
B ::
15.5 cm, 15.0 cm, 15.2 cm, 15.3 cm
Precision
• The precision of a measurement depends on the instrument used to measure it.
• For example, how long is this block?
How big is the beetle?
Measure between the head and the tail!
Between 1.5 and 1.6 in
Measured length: 1.54 in
The 1 and 5 are known with certainty
The last digit (4) is estimated between the two nearest fine division marks.
Example: Precision
Who is more precise when measuring the same 17.0 cm book?
A:
17.0 cm, 16.0 cm, 18.0 cm, 15.0 cm
B ::
15.5 cm, 15.0 cm, 15.2 cm, 15.3 cm
Three targets with three arrows each to shoot.
The person hit the bull's-eye?

Can you define accuracy vs. precision?Can you define accuracy vs. precision?
Uncertainty
• The word uncertainty casts a doubt about the
exactness of the measurement results
• True value = Estimated value + Uncertainty
Why Is There Uncertainty?
• Measurements are performed with instruments, and no instrument can read to an infinite number of decimal places
•Which of the instruments below has the greatest uncertainty in measurement?

Performance of Instruments
• All instrumentation systems are characterized by the system characteristics or system response
• There are two basic characteristics of Measuring instruments, they are – Static character – Dynamic character
Static Characteristics
• The instruments, which are used to measure
the quantities which are slowly varying with
time or mostly constant, i.e., do not vary with
time, is called ‘static characteristics’.
STATIC CHARACTERISTICS OF AN INSTRUMENTS
• Accuracy
• Precision
• Sensitivity
• Resolution
• Threshold
• Drift
• Error
• Repeatability
• Reproducibility
• Dead zone
• Backlash
• True value
• Hysteresis
• Linearity
• Range or Span
• Bias
• Tolerance
• Stability
Resolution
This is defined as the smallest input increment change that gives some small but definite numerical change in the output.
Threshold
This minimum value of input below which no output can be appeared is known as threshold of the instrument.
input
Output
Drift
Drift or Zero drift is variation in the output of an instrument which is not caused by any change in the input; it is commonly caused by internal temperature changes and component instability.
Sensitivity drift defines the amount by which instrument’s sensitivity varies as ambient conditions change.
• Error – The deviation of the true value from
the desired value is called Error
• Repeatability – It is the closeness value of
same output for same input under same
operating condition
• Reproducibility - It is the closeness value of
same output for same input under same
operating condition over a period of time
Hysteresis
This is the algebraic difference between the average errors at corresponding points of measurement when approached from opposite directions, i.e. increasing as opposed to decreasing values of the input.
Actual/ Input Value
Measured Value Ideal
Hysteresis is caused by energy storage/ dissipation in the system.
Zero stability
The ability of the instrument to return to
zero reading after the measured has returned to
zero
Dead band
This is the range of different input values over which there is no change in output value.
• Backlash – Lost motion or free play of
mechanical elements are known as backlash
• True value – The errorless value of measured
variable is known as true value
• Bias – The Constant Error
• Tolerance- Maximum Allowable error in
Measurement
Dynamic Characteristics
• The set of criteria defined for the
instruments, which are changes rapidly with
time, is called ‘dynamic characteristics’.
Dynamic Characteristics
• Steady state periodic
• Transient
• Speed of response
• Measuring lag
• Fidelity
• Dynamic error
• Steady state periodic – Magnitude has a
definite repeating time cycle
• Transient – Magnitude whose output does not
have definite repeating time cycle
• Speed of response- System responds to
changes in the measured quantity
• Measuring lag– Retardation type :Begins immediately after the
change in measured quantity– Time delay lag : Begins after a dead time after the
application of the input
• Fidelity- The degree to which a measurement system indicates changes in the measured quantity without error
• Dynamic error- Difference between the true value of the quantity changing with time & the value indicated by the measurement system
Errors in Instruments
• Error = True value – Measured value
or
• Error = Measured value - True value
Types of Errors
• Error of Measurement
• Instrumental error
• Error of observation
• Based on nature of errors
• Based on control
Error of Measurement
• Systematic error -Predictable way in
accordance due to conditions change
• Random error - Unpredictable manner
• Parasitic error - Incorrect execution of
measurement
Instrumental error
• Error of a physical measure
• Error of a measuring mechanism
• Error of indication of a measuring instrument
• Error due to temperature
• Error due to friction
• Error due to inertia
Based on control
• Controllable errors– Calibration errors – Environmental (Ambient /Atmospheric Condition)
Errors – Stylus pressure errors – Avoidable errors
• Non - Controllable errors
Correction
• Correction is defined as a value which is added algebraically to the uncorrected result of the measurement to compensate to an assumed systematic error.
• Ex : Vernier Caliper, Micrometer
Calibration
• Calibration is the process of determining and adjusting an instruments accuracy to make sure its accuracy is with in manufacturing specifications.
Interchangeability
• A part which can be substituted for the component manufactured to the small shape and dimensions is known a interchangeable part.
• The operation of substituting the part for similar manufactured components of the shape and dimensions is known as interchangeability.
