Metrology is defined as the science of precision measurements. It has many
applications in science and industry and employs a wide range of measuring
instruments. In the competitive manufacture of precision-engineered products
where a high degree of quality is required it is particularly important
that the proper measuring instruments be employed to provide accurate, reliable,
and cost-effective inspection results. Thus, the selection of appropriate
measuring and gauging instruments is becoming even more critical in the
ever-increasing necessity to stay competitive and due to customer demand
for higher-quality products.
