  2. William Thomson, Lord Kelvin I often say that when you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it … … but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind.

  3. Brian W. Petley Far from being a dull area of science, high-precision measurements are an increasingly exciting area in which to work, for they push theory and experiment to the very limits of which they are capable… If we recall that the rich oil deposits under the North Sea remained unknown until the advent of the very precise geophysical measurements, or that the spin of the electron was inferred from precise spectroscopic measurements, we see more clearly the class of discoveries which can come from precise measurement.

  11. What is Metrology? Metrology is the science of measurement.

  12. What is Metrology? Metrology covers three main activities: • The definitionof internationally accepted units of measurement, e.g. the metre. • The realizationof units of measurement by scientificmethods, e.g. the realizationof a metre through the use of lasers. • The establishment of traceabilitychains by determining and documenting the value and accuracy of a measurement and disseminating that knowledge, e.g. the documented relationship between the micrometer screw in a precision engineering workshop and a primary laboratory for optical length metrology.

  13. What is Metrology? Metrology is considered in three categories with different levels of complexity and accuracy: • Scientific metrologydeals with the organisation and development of measurementstandards and with their maintenance (highest level). • Industrial metrologyhas to ensure the adequate functioning of measurementinstruments used in industry as well as in production and testing processes. • Legal metrologyis concerned with measurements where these influence thetransparency of economic transactions, health and safety.

  14. Systematic measurement with known degrees of uncertainty is one of the foundations of industrial quality control and, generally speaking, in most modern industries the costs bound up in taking measurements constitute 10 -15% of production costs. 
