Overview:
This 1-day course focuses on measurement quality – including how to understand and assess the errors in dimensional measuring systems. The primary topic of this course is Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility (Gage R&R), a common tool to study variation in measuring systems. This course will then go beyond Gage R&R and study common measurement errors that are typically not well addressed in Gage R&R studies, including the impact of temperature and the selection of measurement methods. This course will also introduce the concept of Measurement Uncertainty, which formally represents all the likely measurement errors into a single estimated value. The use of uncertainty versus Gage R&R will be discussed. Lastly, this course will introduce the importance of calibration in managing measurement quality, including the selection of proper in-house methods, how to select external calibration services, and the role of ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation of calibration services. This course combines theory with practice and is taught in a hands on, experiential manner.
Prerequisites:
To be successful in this course, students should have prior experience using dimensional measuring equipment. This course does involve some math, and students should be comfortable with basic algebraic and statistical calculations.

Explore our Dimensional Metrology Curriculum:
Dimensional metrology – the science and practice of dimensional measurement – is one of the fundamental educational series of the Mitutoyo Institute of Metrology. The full curriculum consists of free online educational material and videos plus a series of independent classroom courses that cover all aspects of dimensional measurement and inspection, from calipers to gage blocks to coordinate measuring machines. Students can choose which courses are most relevant and create their own unique educational experience. Our modern dimensional metrology curriculum is for anyone wanting to learn about dimensional measuring equipment and strategies for implementation, including selection, application, calibration, and care of dimensional measuring systems. Principles and practice are taught with a hands-on experiential learning approach to engage the students and promote retention of the concepts.
Students looking for a more in-depth dimensional calibration course are encouraged to explore our
3-day Seminar #114 Dimensional Gage Calibration, but should not enroll in both #111 & #114.
