Course detail
Engineering Metrology I
FSI-6SM Acad. year: 2025/2026 Summer semester
Subject acquaints students with the principles of metrology in the Czech Republic, EU and worldwide. The main accent is placed on teaching the principles of design, function and practical aspects of measurement in industrial and related production. In the first block, special attention is paid to the measurement of selected parameters of geometric properties of engineering products according to the ISO GPS system. In the next part of the course, emphasis is placed on methods and technical tools for measurement of pressure, temperature, vibration, noise, technical parameters of liquids and gases, flow and level in industrial practice.
