Course detail

Metrology Legal and Industrial

FSI-9MLV Acad. year: 2025/2026 Both semester

The course focuses on the mastery of metrology in industrial enterprises, with emphasis on the functional control of products and the organisational and technical design of control processes. Students will learn the principles of calibration and verification of various types of measuring instruments. Students will also understand the rules for measuring and evaluating sizes and distances of industrial products, measuring and evaluating deviations in form, orientation, location, run-out and texture evaluation of functional surfaces. Students will be able to formulate requirements for gauges in specific applications and the criteria for evaluating the performance of test and calibration laboratories in industry.
